| LEADERSHIP EXPERTS WILL DISCUSS HOW TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEXITIES OF PUBLIC HEALTH AT THE HUMPHREY INSTITUTE
 The public health crises around the world present complex challenges with no easy answers. Internationally renowned leadership expert Ronald Heifetz will lead a conversation about using adaptive leadership techniques to effectively tackle public health issues. All are invited to this free program from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, in Cowles Auditorium.
Heifetz is the King Hussein bin Talal Senior Lecturer in Public Leadership and the founding director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Known for his seminal work during the last two decades on the practice and teaching of leadership, his research focuses on how to build adaptive capacity in societies, businesses, and nonprofits. His book Leadership Without Easy Answers currently is in its 13th printing and has been translated into many languages. He coauthored the best-selling book Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive through the Dangers of Leading (2002) with Marty Linsky.
Heifetz will be joined in conversation by Jan Malcolm, Courage Center CEO, and Humphrey Institute Senior Fellow Jay Kiedrowski, board member for UCare Minnesota. Patrick Marx, a leadership consultant and facilitator, will moderate the discussion.
