Introductory comment on the lecture by Dr. Sergiy Korsunsky:

It is going to be not a usual lecture, but sooner a discussion to provoke thoughts and questions. What is leadership in politics? Any differences/similarities with leadership in business? Is leadership always a good thing? How to recognize and how to become a true leader?
