London, June 5 (PTI) Former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam
will address students, academics and practitioners at the
University of Cambridge's Judge Business School on June 9.

Kalam will be the guest of the School's Centre for India
and Global Business, whose director is Jaideep Prabhu, the
Jawaharlal Nehru professor of Indian Business and Enterprise.

In his address, Kalam will overview the dramatic
socio-economic and technological shifts occurring worldwide,
the new leadership style required to navigate it and how
centre of geopolitical and economic gravity is irreversibly
shifting from West to East.

A university release said Kalam will explain in his
address why in order to thrive in this turbulent world,
corporations, as well as nations, need 'creative leaders', a
new breed of visionary and empathetic leaders who act less as
commanders and more as coaches, less as managers and more as
facilitators.

In particular, the release said Kalam will address the
catalytic role of the youth in providing creative leadership
in emerging economies like India. PTI PS
