Jacobs, Lawrence R.2020-10-272020-10-272009-06-25https://hdl.handle.net/11299/216911Leadership has often been modeled on heroic figures who rely on commands and top-down decision making. The failures in the corporate and political worlds have tainted the notion of leadership and undermined confidence in leaders. But a new approach of leadership is emerging that emphasizes shared decision making, social responsibility and stewardship of the public good. Mr. Joly discussed leadership in today's corporate world. Can ethical requirements and values be integrated with the imperatives of the marketplace? What is the ultimate purpose of business? How can leaders in the private and public sectors work together on public problems? This event was moderated by Professor Lawrence R. Jacobs.
