In December 2011 Fiona Kerr gave a presentation on “neuro-leadership” to MBA Alumni of University of Adelaide Business School. The cutting edge areas of systems intelligent leadership and “neuro-leadership” are bright new stars on the leadership theory horizon.

Complex situations and future scenarios are unpredictable, and new leadership theory is pitched at how to become skilled at strategic adaptation rather than strategic planning.

Presented by Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney.
