Webinar: Leadership in Disruptive Times – Real World, Real Leadership
The disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world face to face with reality – the reality of nature and the reality of leadership in times of crisis.
Join us on April 28, 2020, for this special webinar with CEIBS Professor Jack Wood, a boundary-pushing academic specializing in experiential leadership, about the effects of the pandemic on our personal and professional exercise of leadership during these challenging times.
Prof. Wood’s presentation will explore two related themes:
First, we’ll discuss these current disruptive times:
- What is it about today’s pandemic that is similar and different from ‘normal’ life?
- How do you experience the disruptions?
- What patterns is it forcing into our awareness?
Second, we’ll discuss leadership:
- What does the pandemic reveal about the nature of leadership?
- What does the pandemic demand for effective leadership?
- What opportunities does the pandemic present to us for re-thinking the way we live and work?
After his presentation, Professor Wood will be joined by two CEIBS Global EMBA alumni for a panel discussion to further dive into practical insights on how to lead and manage your groups during this unprecedented time of turbulence and uncertainty.
Prof. Wood is the lead faculty member for the CEIBS Global EMBA’s 8-day leadership module, which is regularly recognised by students as one of the most transformative aspects of the programme. This intensive, experiential module is the first step students take in their 20-month Global EMBA learning journey. Beginning with in-depth pre-module assignments, a combination of classroom discussions and demanding group exercises, intensive peer-to-peer learning, and integrative private and confidential one-on-one executive coaching sessions, students not only learn about leadership, they will learn to develop their capacity to exercise leadership responsibly. Personal leadership has never been more important than right now, and CEIBS Global EMBA is transforming more executives than any other English language programme in China.
