Dubai (June 21, 2009) — Kenexa® (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced that Dr. Tommy Weir, managing director of Kenexa’s Leadership Solutions is presenting a lecture at the Dubai School of Government on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 from 5.30pm to 7pm.
Dr. Weir’s presentation, entitled “The CEO Shift: Recovery, the changing dynamics of the future, and success” will highlight the global realities that require CEOs and organisational leaders to change their perspectives.
Dr. Weir commented: “On the surface, the world appears to be a significantly different place than it was a year ago, but the sociological underpins that will drive the future have already shifted. As governments and organisations attempt to recover from the global meltdown, they have to be aware of this or end up in a greater crisis. There is real change happening and yesterday’s trends are creating tomorrow’s reality.”
Dr. Weir is a highly regarded thought leader who specialises in strategic leadership development for fast-growth and emerging markets. A book signing of his latest publication will follow his presentation. “The CEO Shift” explores the new global business environment that requires CEOs to shift their perspectives in order to survive in a competitive, changing world.
