Profiles in Leadership

By Prof. Vicente Sinining, PhD, PDCILM

Profiles in Leadership features leaders and individuals that I have the honor to work with or met in the course of my career as an educator, writer, and adviser at the United Nations. The series of profiles aims to inspire students of politics and international relations and be aware of the journeys of these distinguished individuals.

Although leaders face many challenges and different perceptions by those who may oppose them, their leadership style are unique and have served well, in many ways, in advancing the interests of their own countries and field of endeavors..
