Humility + Compassion = More Impactful Leadership for Turbulent Times

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Short Description

In a tumultuous world, fraught with what seems to be a growing sense of narcissism and toxicity, it may seem counter-intuitive to point to humility and compassion as the antidote for better leadership. Yet that’s exactly what this session intends to demonstrate. Senior leaders will discuss the power of humility and compassion to create the kind of cultures necessary to promote human flourishing from the classroom to the boardroom and beyond.
