We live in a world that emphasize the rational and the objective. We cling dearly to objective facts, rigorous thought and rational decisions. In doing so, we risk losing sight of the internal world and our emotional and intuitive aspects. Understanding our “inner theatre” is essential, but also an uphill challenge, fraught with difficulties and anxieties. In this conversation, Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries explores the essential need to build self-understanding and the difficulty in doing so.
Please join Gerard Seijts, Executive Director of the Ian O. Ihnatowycz Institute for Leadership and Matt Quin, Director of Ivey Publishing for a conversation about developing ethical leadership and character. The discussion will examine the current state of leadership from a 360-degree perspective, the opportunity and need to incorporate principled character in curriculum, and the impact of crisis management in business and society in these unprecedented times.
