MEGA SESSION: “Next Practices” Leadership: Driving Growth & Innovation in a People-Led Economy
Groundbreaking research from the FORUM at Northwestern University proposes a “next practices” model for leadership that embraces a broad spectrum of constituencies and focuses on “enrichment” rather than engagement. This ability to innovatively solve new problems, adapt to unexpected challenges and connect contributions to society at large will position your company for long-term success and sustainable growth. In addition, understand the new strategy of human value connections across the business and beyond, and the key leadership behaviors that encourage, rather than inhibit, productivity, innovation and engagement.
