Programming example

In our "The Source Summit" event held on April 17, we brought together the academic depth of leadership and the practices of the business world on an inspiring day within the framework of the theme of "curiosity". It was a great pleasure for me to accompany all our guests throughout the day, to take part in the interview section as a moderator, to share the excitement of our award ceremony and to host valuable names on stage.The most valuable topics left to us from the event, which started with the opening speech of Sales Network founder Ergün Güler, were as follows:* Expert Leadership: With Prof. Amanda H. Goodall from Bayes Business School, we went beyond being a "good manager" and examined how "expert leaders" who know the kitchen of the business transform organizational success.* Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yusuf Öç from Bayes Business School, who is also the Chairman of the Jury of The Source Awards, emphasized that curiosity is the real competitive advantage of the age of artificial intelligence.* The Power of Childlike Curiosity: With Ednah Otieno, HR Director of Diageo Europe, we have seen that leaders should not be "childish" (irresponsible/immature) but "childish" (open-minded, non-judgmental, constantly asking questions).* We held a very special session with Katelyn Atherton and Murat Yesildere from Egon Zehnder, where we examined how the passion for curiosity leads to a richer and more fulfilling life full of continuous learning and discovery.* Art and Curiosity: In our interview with musician dear Harun Tekin, the lead singer of the band Mor ve Ötesi, he answered all questions frankly. In the interview, we touched on the completely different dimensions that philosophy, psychology, creativity, passion for learning and art add to our vision.* We watched a presentation with Employee Experience and Culture Transformation Consultant Alim Erginoglu on staying connected to life, focusing on good examples rather than tragedies, and instilling hope in people.* Storyteller, Consultant and Author Sinan Sülün took part in the event with his presentation in which he conveyed the tricks and examples of speech strategies of world leaders.* Youth and Future: One of the most dynamic moments of the day was the youth panel moderated by Esat Oguz. Listening to how they see the world and their expectations from 5 young future leaders studying in England gave us all a fresh perspective (Dear Damla Güler, Deniz Beydagi, Ece Yılmaz, Emet Isik Utku and Su Yeşildere, thank you!)At The Source Awards award ceremony, which we held in the final of the day, we witnessed the achievements of professionals who create value on a global scale. The awards, which were presented with the meticulous evaluations of our international academic jury, were the most concrete indicator of the collective impact and inspiration created by our community.We would like to thank all our speakers and participants who accompanied us on this inspiring journey. As long as we continue to explore and wonder, we will build the future together.Ahmet Yalçın YALÇINKAYASales Network
