Societal expectations of business leaders are high in a world grappling with large-scale issues including wealth inequality, climate change, the impact of technological change on our lives, and the erosion of democracy in the U.S. and around the world.
The Leadership for Society Program, led by Professor Brian S. Lowery, provides students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of the most pressing societal issues of today and to grow the cultural intelligence necessary to foster open and productive dialog across wide-ranging world views.
Professor Lowery’s podcast, Know What You See, and the Leadership for Society conversation series — both open to the public — provide new ways to understand the world in which we live. In this time of monumental challenge after another, it is critical that each of us understand the issues we are facing and our individual roles in addressing them.
