David Burt stressed the importance of inspirational leadership as he spoke at the Bermuda Leads Entrepreneurial Leadership Summit.

The Premier gave the welcome address at the event at the Hamilton Princess yesterday.

He said: “While here, I urge you to explore, learn and implement. The impact you make goes far beyond the walls of your office or this conference room.

“As a leader you may never know all those you touch, inspire or give confidence. You may never hear the names of those you helped to be successful. A true leader will bring out the best in others and inspire them to greater heights.”

Keynote speakers for the conference included entrepreneurial leadership expert Chris Roebuck, Bermuda Chamber of Commerce executive director Kendaree Burgess and entrepreneur Jason Sukdeo.

The conference was hosted by Benedict Associates and sponsored by Bennett Jones (Bermuda) Ltd, Bermuda Business Development Agency, Clarien and Bermuda Economic Development Corporation.
