A series of guest lectures continues at AlmaU. This time, the speaker was the President of Almaty Management University, Kozhakhmetov Assylbek Bazarbaevich with the topic about leadership in the modern world.

Asylbek Bazarbaevich began his lecture telling about his own life experience: family, education and how he started a business.

My mother is an example of a leader.

After that, he gave vivid examples of world leaders. He spoke about Joy Mangano, Oprah Winfrey, Jack Ma, Harland David Sanders, and also about our local leaders, and spoke about the founder of “Kaganat” canteen chain, Chinara Bugimbayeva.

Follow your dream. But first find it.

In addition to inspiring stories, Assylbek Bazarbaevich gave a clear definition of 21st century leader: who he is, what competencies he has and what he does in general.

If you do not have a dream, you will continue your usual life at your usual work. It is good but due to that you will never get higher results.

In conclusion, the students had opportunity to ask all the questions of interest regarding leadership and how it can be implemented in their existing projects.
