Our world is in a state of flux. Old models of leadership and change are insufficient to deal with the complex, interdependent problems in a globalized world. Today’s leaders need a new framework of leadership to better respond to these challenges by demonstrating exceptional change agent skills, that is, to adopt fresh perspectives, initiate new ways of working together, implement bold new actions, and continue to deliver results in the face of overwhelming demands. They also must be able to cross the many different boundaries that divide groups to mobilize diverse factions to participate in the creative work of making progress, and generate responses and solutions that produce shared value and outcomes. Using the adaptive leadership frameworks taught at Harvard University, this session will help to think more deeply about change, power, influence, and leadership, to increase their personal leadership capacities and competence as a change agent, and the impact their decisions may have on themselves and the organization.
