If you weren’t able to join us for our recent thought-provoking Generous Leadership webinar, the recording is now available to watch at your convenience.

In a research environment often shaped by individual metrics and competition, the idea of leading with generosity, compassion, and care may seem radical—but it’s also essential. This session brings together an inspiring panel of experts to reimagine what leadership in Higher Education can and should look like.

Featuring:

• Professor Kathleen Fitzpatrick (Michigan State University), author of 'Leading Generously - Tools for Transformation'.
• Kate Elliott (University of Bath), Coaching Psychologist and OD Consultant
• Chaired by Professor Davide Mattia, Department of Engineering

Together, they explored:

• What generous leadership looks like at all levels of an institution
• Powerful examples of best practice in academia and beyond
• Practical ways to embed a culture of collaboration, compassion, and care in research and teaching

This event, held on 25 June 2025, is part of our Research Culture Month and is relevant for anyone invested in a more collaborative and inclusive Higher Education sector. It is the first in a two-part series - join us for the follow-up workshop on 8 July to continue the conversation and begin turning ideas into action.
