DISCUSSION AGENDA

The Westminster Business School Debates concept seeks to bring together an interdisciplinary panel of speakers who bring a variety of perspectives to make for a stimulating and insightful debate around the topic under discussion. 

The latest in our series of debates will explore what it really means to be a leader or manager. The distinction is often glossed over with the terms “management” and “leadership” even used interchangeably in some contexts. How then can we better define the terms and distinguish between what makes a good manager and a good leader? Managers are usually more clearly identified within organisational structures. How can we identify someone as a leader rather than a manager? Do you have to work your way up through different levels of management before you can become a leader? We will also consider the role of followers. Are all employees followers? 

the panel

• Professor Richard Harding 
• Dr Rebecca Wang 
• Dr Karen Jackson – Moderator

The format will see each speaker give a brief presentation after which we'll open the floor to questions from the live audience.
