The topic of the lecture was “Ethical Leadership”. While students were being called for attendance, Dr. Irfan Hyder was planning on what and how to speak on “Ethical Leadership”.

It seems that od practitioners will face a very busy future which is going to be full of challenges and opportunities. As we all know that it is essential for any organization to change in order to grow.
