An edition of the Engaged Citizens Speaker Series
There have been countless books written about leadership, but most focus on good leadership and what makes for a good leader.
Dr. Michael MacKenzie, VIU’s Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership, argues that we don’t spend enough time talking about bad leadership, or bad followers – and not having these conversations is a major threat to democracy.
In this talk Dr. MacKenzie examines good and bad leadership and what citizens need to consider when it comes to leadership in a healthy democratic society. His keynote talk was followed by a panel discussion moderated by CKNW radio host Jas Johal featuring: Shachi Kurl, President of the Angus Reid Institute, and Lisa Helps, former mayor of Victoria and Executive Lead for BC Builds Project Origination and Process Innovation at BC Housing.
