Leadership in a Technology-Driven World

ByRamon Thomas

Leadership in a Technology-Driven World is a presentation I delivered at a conference. Worldwide, there is a crisis in education and schools, and perhaps even more so in Africa. All you have to do is open any newspaper, and you will read stories like this letter from a very concerned parent in the Namibian. This keynote speech was delivered to over 240 Deputy Heads of Independent Schools at St John’s College in Johannesburg. There are a number of questions that I explored in this speech for the first time.

They include:

  1. Complexity > Clarity (Paradox of Choice, etc)
  2. Confusion > Confidence (Leadership, Wisdom, etc)
  3. Conflict > Collaboration (Web 2.0, Open Source, etc)

Anyway, enjoy the presentation from my Slideshare.net account here:
