Navigating Polarization: Leadership Strategies for a Divided World

In an increasingly polarized world, we face deepening divides across politics, social issues, and global governance. Polarization currently manifests through intensifying partisanship, resistance to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the rise of populism, and escalations in civil unrest and war. These global challenges deeply affect institutions, organizations, and individual well-being.

Join us for an insightful panel discussion on the far-reaching impacts of polarization, and an exploration of the potential for transformative learning to help leaders address social fragmentation in their organizations and more broadly. Learn how each program area in the School of Leadership equips students with critical leadership strategies, fostering the skills and resilience needed to navigate and address these divisions.

Panelists:

Tam Pozzobon, Program Head, MA in Leadership (Multisectoral)
Niels Agger-Gupta, Acting Program Head, MA in Leadership (Health Specialization)
Kathy Bishop, Program Head, MA in Leadership (Executive Leadership Specialization)
Wanda Krause, Program Head, MA in Global Leadership
Jason Steeves, Associate Faculty, MA in Global Leadership
