Michael Kouly

    Michael Kouly put uit zijn uitgebreide carrière als oorlogscorrespondent voor Reuters en twee decennia aan zakelijk leiderschap om de essentie van leiderschap te onderzoeken. Zijn werk, dat zich verdiept in leiderschap op het hoogste niveau en op wereldwijde schaal, weerspiegelt een diepgaand begrip van de gevolgen van besluitvorming. Kouly's benadering benadrukt continu leren van zowel successen als mislukkingen, en belichaamt de 'winnen of leren'-mentaliteit. Uiteindelijk is zijn doel om individuen, organisaties en naties te inspireren om doelgerichte levens te leiden.
