Garčević Discusses Character-Driven Leadership at the McCain Institute
Ambassador Vesko Garčević, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, took part in the McCain Institute Montenegro Training Outpost’s “Leadership Talks,” led by Ljubomir Filipović, a McCain Institute Next Generation Leader.
“Leadership talks” is a part of the Leadership Action Plan, developed with the support of the Washington, D.C. based McCain Institute for International Leadership. The project in Montenegro envisions the creation of the first leadership academy in the Balkans that will focus on developing and empowering a new type of “character-driven leaders” in the region.
Professor Garčević spoke about different concepts of ethics, commented on American and Montenegrin cultural values, and the correlation between the individual and society in the Balkans and the U.S. Garcevic also shared his ideas on how to make a positive change in the political and leadership culture in the Balkans.
