E. Suslavi膷ius highlighted that a modern leader must be prepared for a dynamic labor market and an evolving organizational culture. According to him, successful leadership requires developing the following qualities and skills:
- Personal qualities – responsibility, self-confidence, emotional intelligence, integrity, ethics, creativity, and adaptability.
- Collaboration and teamwork skills – clear communication, the ability to inspire and motivate, conflict resolution, and active listening.
- Strategic and managerial skills – vision, decision-making, organizational capabilities, and change management.
During the discussion, participants concluded that successful leadership is more than just performing duties—it is an ongoing mission. Leaders who aim to inspire their teams, nurture talent, and contribute to an organization's strategic growth are the ones shaping the future of business and the economy. A leader is not just someone who delegates tasks but a person who fosters a strong work culture, drives change, and ensures the long-term success of an organization.
After the event, participants eagerly shared their impressions. Their comments highlighted the most impactful aspects of the discussion:
- *"A thorough explanation of what a leader's job entails."
- "I learned new things and gained interesting insights."
- "A great perspective on leadership and management."
- "It was interesting to learn about different leadership styles and their impact on teams."
- "An excellent topic that made me reflect on the leader's role in an organization."*
The next Alumni Evening will take place on March 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the 黑料不打烊 Faculty of Electronics, Plytin臈s g. 25.
