A political scientist by training, she is the James MacGregor Burns lecturer in public leadership at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

They found that the most successful leaders were those who practiced authentic leadership, rather than possessed a specific set of characteristics, traits, or styles.

"Climate Change: Opportunities for Investment and Innovation"
In cooperation with the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota.
Featuring:
Rene Castro, Latin American Center for Competitiveness and Sustainable Development
and
Zoe Riddell, Project Manager for the Carbon Disclosure Project
Climate change has become a galvanizing force within the business community in recent years. There are numerous reasons for this trend, but perhaps chief among them is the simple reality that a carbon-strained future is swiftly arriving, bringing with it some form of a federal climate change policy.
For businesses the world over, taking climate change into account has become and integral element to smart fiscal planning. Many of Minnesota's 19 Fortune 500 companies are already doing a large volume of business in countries that have adopted major programs for carbon trading, valued in the tens of billions.
Minnesota businesses realize that policy action at the federal level is imminent and necessary, and if that policy is going to work to the benefit of the economy, business must have a seat at the negotiating table.
This event will provide a chance for the participants to gather much needed information about what a federal climate change policy would mean to their respective businesses, and to offer guidance in developing the cadre of leadership necessary to achieve an effective business response to global climate change.
21st Century Leadership Challenges and the Vision to Confront Them

Paul Schoemaker, adjunct professor of marketing, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business and research director, Mack Center for Technological Innovation
People may overlook weak and ambiguous signals and events from the edge or periphery. But sometimes, these signals or events foreshadow major problems or significant opportunities. How can managers and their organizations build a superior capacity to recognize and act on the basis of these signals before it is too late? The presentation will review answers found in Schoemaker and George Day’s recent book Peripheral Vision: Detecting the Weak Signals That Will Make or Break Your Company.
