Perfect storms are a rare combination of circumstances that combine to drastically aggravate an event. This is exactly what is happening in every sector at the moment - including sports - which will require a different set of skills to lead effectively. Today, and on the horizon, sports is experiencing accelerated change, complexity and difficult problems. We will take a unique approach analysing why today's leadership is not enough to solve tomorrow's problems. Open to staff, students and members of the public.
