About this listen

 Join us for a conversation with Dr. Vivek Goel, President and Vice Chancellor of the University of Waterloo as he takes us on a journey through his diverse leadership experiences in healthcare, public health, and higher education. Discover how his medical background and public health expertise have shaped his unique approach to decision-making, both for individuals and communities alike.

In this episode, Dr. Goel dives into the essence of genuine leadership, keeping people at the centre, and illuminating why effective leaders are crucial for steering long-term strategic vision. He shares why he introduced an innovative long-term vision at the University of Waterloo - known as "Waterloo at 100," preparing the university for its centenary in 2057 rather than relying on a conventional five-year plan.

Dr. Goel also tackles the transformative role of artificial intelligence in higher education. He envisions a future where AI revolutionises teaching, learning, and research, with a return to personalised educational models. He makes a compelling case for the growing importance of humanities and social sciences in a world increasingly dominated by technology.

Throughout this engaging discussion, Dr. Goel emphasises the power of diverse perspectives, the necessity of personal balance, and the need for leaders to be aware of the myriad forces, both internal and external, that shape their organisations. Website · Connect with Daniel on LinkedIn
