Occupational Psychology covers a wide range of subjects in business and the workplace, including one of the "hot topics" of the moment, the study of leadership.
A huge amount of publications exists about leadership but it is Occupational Psychologists who have a unique take on it based on scientific, empirical studies that can be quantified and evaluated.
This one day conference, the first of its type, was intended to share the latest thinking on leadership with people from business and commerce, and to highlight the benefits Occupational Psychologists can bring to organisations through their particular approach to issues in the workplace and the people within it.
The six speakers for the day are all experts on leadership, and the invitation to them deliberately challenged them to "stick their heads above the parapet" to offer delegates their latest insights based on their research and practical experience in the field of leadership. I think the following notes from their presentations reflect the gusto with which they embraced that challenge.
Finally, may I make mention of our sponsors for the day, Kaisen, OPP, and SHL. They generously underwrote the event, allowing us to offer it as a free conference for the delegates. Their commitment to the wider promotion of Occupational Psychology is much appreciated.
