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. Join him on April 15 at 6:30 pm as he examines good and bad leadership and what citizens need consider when it comes to leadership in a healthy democratic society. His keynote talk will 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.
