December Dinner Meeting
UNDERSTANDING LEADERSHIP
Speaker:
Lieutenant-Colonel (retired) Angelo N. Caravaggio OMM, CD, Ph. D.
Leadership development is a $366 billion global industry with $166 billion spent annually in the USA alone, and yet ineffective leadership
remains the No. 1 organizational issue facing organizations around the world. In 2015, Deloitte termed leadership the “perennial issue in
business”—a challenge that never seems to go away. The research also reveals that a toxic workplace culture remains a central problem in
many organizations.
This presentation will provide a new framework for understanding leadership and will focus on three main themes:
- understanding the leadership problem including dispelling several leadership myths;
- understanding the leadership spectrum from effective leadership to toxic leadership including the causes and cures of ineffective and toxic leadership; and
- examining the practical “truths” about leadership that all leaders need to understand in order to be effective leaders.
Speaker Biography:
Dr. Caravaggio is a leadership, defense, and security specialist with over 40 years of military and academic experience. During his 13-year
tenure at the Canadian Forces College (CFC), LCol (retired) Caravaggio served as the Chair, Department of Command, Leadership and
Executive Development. His areas of expertise include executive leadership development, strategic thinking, operational planning, national
security studies, and military history.
Dr. Caravaggio taught Foundations of Leadership at the University of Guelph in both the MA Leadership and MBA programs and currently
serves as a leadership advisor to the Ontario Association Chiefs of Police Education, Training and Professional Development Committee.
Dr. Caravaggio’s article The Attack at Taranto: Tactical Success Operational Failure was the 2007 Edward S. Miller Award winner for best
historical essay published in the U.S. Naval War College Review. Dr. Caravaggio’s book 21 Days in Normandy (2016) is a leadership case study
of the commanding general of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, Major-General George Kitching.
Lieutenant-Colonel (retired) Caravaggio was appointed to the Order of Military Merit (Officer) in 1999 and is an alumnus of the Governor
General’s Canadian Leadership Conference 2004.
