About the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul Open Day.
The auspicious occasion is hosted and organised by the Center for Leadership and Management (CLM), Tangaza University. The main purpose is to reflect on the legacy of St. Vincent de Paul, his profound leadership impact, and the transformative Vincentian Leadership Dimensions modelled on his personal values as follows:
1. Self – Effective leadership begins with self-leadership.
How aware are you of the values that underlie your own behaviors and interactions with others?
2. Mission – vision, innovation, risk taking.
How do you match your unique gifts and talents with the world’s needs?
3. People – communication, empowerment, motivation.
As a leader, how can you learn to better communicate your ideas and expectations?
4. Service – transformation, social change, systematic change.
In your daily life, how can you seek out opportunities to walk with others whose background is different from yours?
5. Task – collaboration, commitment, ethics.
How might you join with the thousands of others worldwide who today continue to make a difference in the lives of the poor as he did?
The Objectives of this event are to celebrate and experience the leadership heritage of st. Vince de paul with Tangaza university community, partners, and invited guests, to deepen stakeholder relationships through reciprocal shared values and servant Leadership experiences and to engage in reflective moderated dialogues on intentionality of ethical and Organizational leadership.
About Moderated Panel Conversations
In an increasingly dynamic and unpredictable world, the demand for values-based, adaptable, and empathetic leadership has never been higher. The theme “Leading with Impact, for Impact” speaks to both the inner grounding of leadership (with impact) and the external outcomes (for impact), aligning closely with the Vincentian ethos of servant leadership, lived presence, and meaningful contribution.
By exploring Presence, Leadership, and Impact, the dialogue provides a layered framework to discuss how leadership today must go beyond positional authority toward synergy, authenticity, and relational influence, especially in contexts of social,
technological, and institutional change.
This high-impact panel discussion is designed as the central leadership conversation of the day. It aims to:
➢ Reflect on the changing dynamics of leadership in the 21st century.
➢ Showcase how value-based leadership—anchored in presence, community, and action—can transform both individuals and institutions.
➢ Draw lessons from seasoned professionals across diverse sectors, inspiring the
next generation of leaders.
