Put Knowledge into Practice and Explore Authentic Leadership with HR Professionals

Gerard, Laura; Scott, Gill

Abstract

At Edinburgh Napier University’s Business School, our vision is to empower our communities, consequently, the Knowledge into Practice events co-created with the CIPD in South East Scotland Branch help to bridge the theory and practice gaps, enabling knowledge exchange and transfer between academics and HR practitioners. During the events, we discuss contemporary challenges, issues, and topics faced in the people profession, facilitate debates, and share ideas and potential solutions to help enhance theory and practice alike. The aim of our Knowledge into Practice Event ‘Exploring Authentic Leadership’ in May 2024 was to foster and encourage collaborative discussions exploring authentic and sustainable leadership from both theoretical and practitioner perspectives and posing questions to address during roundtable discussions. The event enabled participants to develop a deeper understanding of how authentic and sustainable leaders can drive positive change, foster employee engagement, and cultivate environments where individuals and organizations can thrive.
