Leading Change In A Fractured World

Come September 2018, the Series will showcase a full day seminar on “Leading Change in a Fractured World”. It will offer unique insights and intensive discussion on the kind of leadership required in today’s world: a world filled with surprise, uncertainty, complex, messy challenges with urgency for change.

Every organization struggles to figure out how to navigate the terrain, respond to complexity, sustain performance, change fast enough, and get meaningful goals accomplished. Where is the leadership? What kind of leadership is needed?  
The reality is that the current notions of leadership are seriously deficient for dealing with the challenges we face today. The prevailing model is born of an old tribal way of thinking where a “big man” leads the way and makes the decisions. However, the challenges of today muddled, interdependent problems—problems that are shared by multiple groups and cannot be resolved by a single dominant authority figure or by one group acting alone.
Today’s leaders need to be global change agents—leaders with a global mindset who can stimulate creative problem solving and adaptive change by building networks of people to engage in the creative and demanding work of change. These change agents must be multi-dimensional in style and approach. They must be open-minded, courageous, passionate, and imaginative. They must be able to cross boundaries, build bridges, and harness diverse groups and resources to achieve outstanding results in the face of demanding and shifting forces.

Seminar Leader:

Dr. Dean Williams

Leading the seminar is Dr. Dean Williams, current director for the Global Change Agent program at the Harvard Kennedy School, where he has been for 20 years. He was a recipient of the University’s prestigious Carballo Award for teaching excellence and his teaching has regularly received “the most influential course award”.
Dean has led workshops all over the world and major change processes, leadership initiatives with companies and governments in both developed & developing countries. He continues to challenge conventional leadership thinking and questions and reformulates leadership to respond to the demands of a changing world.
Originally from Australia, he earned both Master’s and Doctoral degrees from Harvard, specializing in leadership studies and organizational development.

Dean is also the author of “Real Leadership: Helping People and Organizations Face Their Toughest Challenges.” His latest book is, “Leadership for a Fractured World: How to Cross Boundaries, Build Bridges, and Lead Change.”
Dean Williams has studied the actions of leaders in diverse fields and abstracted the attributes he classifies as real leadership. What I did in a pragmatic and instinctive manner in leading Singapore through its many pre-and post-independence challenges, he has conceptuallized as creating a robust holding environment to contain the disequilibrium and the orchestration of adaptive work. Leaders of any organization whether CEOs, directors or ministers, can benefit from studying the principles he has distilled.
Lee Kuan Yew,
Prime Minister of Singapore from 1959 - 1990
Individuals can make a difference, particularly if they are willing to exercise good leadership.  In part this may be instinctive, but much of it can be learned.  I welcome the broad and refreshing approach Dean Williams adopts in "Real Leadership," which should help to foster new leadership.
Mary Robinson,
President of Ireland, 1990-1997
Dean Williams has thoroughly encapsulated the art and practice of responsible leadership…. well-developed set of theories and best practices, reinforced through excellent historical examples and cases, that strengthens leaders at all levels.
Marshall Carter,
Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange
Given the deeply held but often conflicting beliefs of people everywhere, Leadership for a Fractured World is necessary reading for each of us attempting to navigate the complex realities confronting organizations and people today…
David Chamberlain,
Senior Vice President, M&T Bank
