2015
Students from the International MBA progamme at Queen’s Management School had the opportunity to attend the annual William J. Clinton Leadership Lecture delivered by former President FW de Klerk on Thursday 15th October 2015. President de Klerk spoke about “The role of leadership in a rapidly changing world”, something that the students have been learning about since their programme commenced in September so it gave them a unique insight to leadership.
During his presidency FW de Klerk dismantled apartheid and initiated and presided over the inclusive negotiations that led to the adoption of South Africa’s first fully democratic Constitution. Mr de Klerk served as one of South Africa’s two Executive Deputy Presidents until 1996. A Nobel Peace Prize award winner, in 1999 he published his autobiography and established the FW de Klerk foundation.
Students on the International MBA at Queen’s regularly get the opportunity to attend guest lectures where industry leaders present on their area of excellence and expertise. For further information on this programme, please click here.
