TORONTO - On October 21, more than 100 senior executives will gather at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management for a unique one-day symposium on leadership. Leading Organizations into the New Century: The Psychology of Leadership will bring together leaders of top North American corporations to share details of their challenges and strategies. Presenters include: Robert Young, Red Hat Inc. chairman and CEO; Micheline Bouchard, Motorola Canada chairman, president & CEO; John Pepper, Procter & Gamble chairman; David Smith and Tom O'Neill, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP chair and CEO (respectively); and Anthony Comper, Bank of Montreal CEO.
