GJIMT is hosting its 18^th International Conference on the theme “Leadership Development in the Age of Disruption”. The conference is held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Business Management & Commerce, Finance & Economics, Social Sciences & Humanities and Technology related areas.

In the turbulent waters of the 21st century, leadership faces unprecedented challenges. The landscape of business, technology, politics, and society is continually reshaped by rapid advances, global interconnectedness, and unforeseen disruptions. As we find ourselves navigating through this age of disruption, the importance of effective leadership development becomes ever more pronounced. It is in this dynamic context that we convene for a multi-disciplinary exploration of Leadership Development in the Age of Disruption.

The fabric of leadership is woven from a myriad of disciplines, each thread contributing to the tapestry of effective leadership in unique ways. From psychology to economics, sociology to technology, philosophy to politics, the multifaceted nature of leadership development requires a holistic approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries. It is through the synergy of diverse perspectives that we can glean insights, strategies, and frameworks to equip leaders with the tools necessary to thrive amidst disruption.

At the heart of our conference lies the recognition that disruption is not merely a challenge to be overcome but an opportunity for growth, innovation, and transformation. In this flux of change, traditional paradigms are challenged, and new possibilities emerge. Leaders must possess the vision to navigate uncertainty, the agility to adapt to shifting landscapes, and the resilience to weather storms while steering their organizations towards sustainable success.

The journey of leadership development in the age of disruption is characterized by both complexity and paradox. It demands a delicate balance between stability and change, tradition and innovation, hierarchy and collaboration. Leaders must embrace ambiguity, ambiguity, and ambiguity and complexity, fostering cultures of learning, experimentation, and inclusivity that empower individuals and organizations to thrive in uncertain times.

Moreover, effective leadership in the age of disruption extends beyond the confines of the corporate boardroom. It encompasses a broader societal dimension, addressing pressing global challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and geopolitical instability. Leaders are called upon not only to drive economic growth but also to foster sustainable development, ethical governance, and social responsibility.

In light of these multifaceted challenges, our conference aims to foster dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange across diverse disciplines. We invite scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and thought leaders from around the world to engage in a dynamic exchange of ideas, insights, and best practices. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and networking sessions, we seek to explore the following themes:

• Leadership in Times of Uncertainty: How can leaders cultivate resilience, adaptability, and emotional intelligence in the face of uncertainty and volatility?
• Innovation and Disruption: What role do creativity, innovation, and disruptive technologies play in shaping the future of leadership?
• Ethics and Values: How can leaders uphold ethical principles, integrity, and corporate social responsibility amidst competing interests and pressures?
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Why is diversity, equity, and inclusion essential for effective leadership, and how can organizations foster a culture of belonging?
• Global Leadership and Geopolitical Dynamics: What are the implications of geopolitical shifts, global trends, and cultural differences for leadership development on a global scale?
• Learning and Development: How can organizations facilitate continuous learning, skill development, and talent management to nurture the next generation of leaders?

As we embark on this intellectual journey together, let us embrace the spirit of inquiry, collaboration, and innovation. Let us challenge assumptions, explore new horizons, and envision bold possibilities for leadership in the age of disruption. Together, we can illuminate the path forward and empower leaders to navigate the complexities of our ever-evolving world.
