Leadership in security and risk is rarely tested under ideal conditions. Some of its most important lessons are learned in the moments no policy, qualification or manual can fully prepare us for.
About this webinar
Join Associate Professor Sezer Bozkus Kahyaoglu and Michael Gips for a conversational Journal Webinar exploring the human side of leadership in security and risk management.
Drawing on Michael’s extensive professional experience, the discussion will consider how leaders navigate cyber threats, organisational crises, insider risks and continuing uncertainty while maintaining trust, exercising sound judgement and building resilient teams.
Through practical insights, real-world stories and a touch of humour, the conversation will look beyond technical knowledge, formal policies and professional certifications to explore the qualities that help people lead effectively when circumstances are complex, unpredictable and simply not covered in the manual.
Who should attend?
This conversation is intended for security professionals, cybersecurity practitioners, risk managers, governance and resilience professionals, executives, team leaders and emerging professionals seeking practical insight into leadership in uncertain and high-pressure environments.
