Webinar Overview

Leadership is truly tested in times of disruption. The recent global crisis has not only reshaped industries but also redefined the very essence of leadership. Nowhere is this more evident than in the automotive sector, where rapid changes, supply chain uncertainties, and digital acceleration demand a new approach to leading teams and organisations. This session, part of the Amity Global Leadership Studio, explores how leaders can navigate complexity, build organisational resilience, and drive transformation amidst ongoing volatility.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a swift and severe impact on the globally integrated automotive industry. This new, uncertain and volatile business landscape presents automakers with extensive challenges that require a more flexible, adaptive style of leadership. From a leadership perspective, there are even greater expectations being placed on leaders than ever before, where they need to demonstrate speed, agility, and focus combined with perfection to navigate through difficult times. To get more insights on leadership challenges during disruptive times, we have invited Mr Mussarat Hussain, Senior Advisor – Maruti Suzuki Training Academy, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, to our Leadership Studio.
