Peter Horn receives experience leadership award at RU
Career and communication adviser Peter Horn is the first to receive RU’s newly established MOL award.
The award, to be presented by Rector Ib Poulsen at RU at 2.45 pm today, is granted to a prominent member of the business community who has made a dedicated effort within experience leadership. Through his great commitment on the programme’s Executive Committee and Advisory Board, his persistence and innovative skill, today’s award winner has contributed to ensuring the successful launch of the new master’s programme.
Peter Horn is a journalist by education, but already in 1972 he set up his own business. Today, he is chief executive of Peter Horn & Co, a company providing advisory and training services in career development and communication. As the author and co-author of 15 books on career, leadership and communication, in recent years Peter Horn has been particularly sought-after for his knowledge on branding.
Today’s award winner has had a major influence on the MOL programme (Master in experience leadership) – despite its only four years in existence – already having published two books on experience leadership: One in Danish entitled “Oplevelsesledelse” (in English: “Experience Leadership”) and one in English entitled “Experience Leadership in practice”.
The award comprises the honour and privilege of continued commitment to MOL. The award is a baton, and it is now up to Peter Horn and an award committee to define the guidelines for future MOL awards. The award also comprises the right to nominate a leader, who will be offered enrolment in the MOL programme free of charge.
The award will be presented at the graduation ceremony for the fourth group of MOL students at RU held in the Cinema (building 41.1.).
