Corporate Contributing members joined the first AmCham Thought Leaders Club breakfast on the topic “Redefining Leadership in the 4th Industrial Revolution” on March 9, 9:00 at the Grand Palace Hotel.
The event featured a special guest from the United Kingdom Graham J. Bird, Leadership Consultant and Executive Coach (Oxford Leadership). We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way that business works. This will fall on leaders to lead their organizations through the heavy headwinds they face. This, in turn, means that we need to redefine leadership and what it means to be a leader in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Over this meeting, members both heard the latest Oxford Leadership findings on the topic as well as had a lively discussion on how these principles apply to managing our top-tier level member companies.
Thought Leader Clubis the newest AmCham program designed exclusively for the top management of our Corporate Contributing members. The aim of the program is to bring together leaders from some of the top companies in this country to exchange views on issues like leadership, business development as well as improving the business and investment climate in Latvia. We are confident that this will grow as a forum that will benefit both the leaders of our Corporate Contributing companies as well as AmCham's work on improving the business environment in Latvia. We invite our top-tier members to get involved and build a strong AmCham community that upholds our standard of leading by example.
