Our friends at One Scotland hosting a masterclass event at the University of Stirling featuring Asia Scotland Institute’s Founder and Chairman, Roddy Gow OBE. A distinguished figure whose illustrious career spans various sectors including military service, banking, and global executive search. Roddy shared his invaluable insights on leadership in developing a business.
In the masterclass, Roddy delved into the essence of leadership and the soft skills necessary for navigating and thriving in international business environments. His experiences, from serving as a British Army officer to his extensive involvement in executive search consulting, particularly in Asia and emerging markets, provided a rich foundation for understanding the dynamics of leadership in diverse cultural settings.
This was a unique opportunity where students and professionals from across Scotland came to listen and gain from Roddy’s vast experience and learn how effective leadership can drive business development in an increasingly interconnected world. Whether you’re an aspiring leader or an established professional, Roddy’s journey and insights inspired you to embrace the challenges of leading in a global context.
