The Panel Discussion Moderated by Professor Mani, from APU was a fruitful dialogue.
The Panel was free to discuss any isse relating to the three key note speeches. An
Excerpt Question 1 Ms. Ise you mentioned earlier the important elements of leadership
. Of course its importance is relevant yet I am interested in knowing what exactly
leadership in your context may mean. We of course all have our own meaning and
understandings of the concept. But leadership if you say we need more of it, I would
like to know what exactly do we need more of? What necessary elements of leadership
do we need and how do we want our leaders to be? What do we want these individuals
who are leaders to become and what do we want them to have and be able to do?
Do you have any notions or ideas of what you think it might mean to us at this level?
Speaker 2 Momoyo Ise (reply) I agree with you that it is very difficult to understand
the abstract of what a leader should be. Paradigm and core change, true sense of
leaders should be able to move people and to influence people with ideas and attitudes.
When you have ten good people but one bad leader it is not very good, because it
creates problems. Quality of managers/administrators is not very good in the sense of bosses of the UN. Administrators of the UN usually
have difficulties with their managerial staff because they lack integrity efficiency and self-discipline. It is thus important to gain the best
quality of training. Through years of observation I have realized that a conductor is very important in any symphony this is because the
conductor is the core administrator, he/she does his/her job knowing that everything depends on the next movement and next action.
I believe that a good leader is one who is able to motivate, to function well with his environment and be able to give out orders in a
cooperative way. It is a must to indicate to the youth the importance of having such individuals to run/administrate and manage the
world. Keynote Speech 2 Developing Human Resources in the Perspective of 30 Years Ahead Ms. ISE Momoyo Session 1 'New Challenges

SPEECH BY DR. JAMES M. HESTER, first Rector OF THE United Nations University (1975-1980),
AT THE UNU 25TH ANNIVERSARY SYMPOSIUM, TOKYO, JAPAN, 23 OCTOBER 2000
「25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNU 」By James M. Hester James M. Hester I have been
invited to tell you how we got the UNU started twenty-five years ago. I am delighted to do so
because it was an exceptional experience. One day in November 1974 1 received a telephone
call in my office at New York University from Secretary General Waldheim of the United Nations
inviting me to become rector of the United Nations University. I was not completely surprised
because I had previously had discussions with a friend, Roger Gaudry, chairman of the Council
of the United Nations University, who said the Council was nominating me among others to be
the first rector of the new institution. Therefore I had had several weeks to think about the
possible invitation and was able to tell the Secretary General that I was favorably inclined
toward accepting his offer. I had be n president of New York University for thirteen years and was ready for a change. I was deeply
interested in international academic collaboration and I had been trained in the Japanese language, had worked in Japan thirty years
earlier and ha developed a strong interest in and attraction to Japan. The prospect of organizing a new international academic
enterprise under the sponsorship of the United Nations and UNESCO and strongly supported by the Government of Japan plus
the opportunity to live in Japan with my family for five years Was very appealing to me. As soon as the telephone conversation
with the Secretary General ended, one of the most demanding experiences of my life began. I could not leave the presidency of
New York University on short notice, but the UNU was ready to get started. At the time of my appointment, C. V. Narasimhan,
former Under Secretary General and Chef de Cabinet to Secretary General U Thant who had proposed the UNU to the General
Assembly, was the UN official responsible for the UNU. He was very ably assisted by Mr. Yasushi Akashi and Mrs. Momoyo Ise.
Narasimhan worked out an arrangement whereby I could officially conduct UNU business while remaining president of New York
University until the following August. A UNU office was set up near my NYU office and another UNU office was set up in the
Imperial Hotel in Tokyo to start organizing the future UNU Centre in Tokyo.
