Join us 12 September 2024, from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4) on Zoom for this critical conversation and learning experience.

The acute threat to democracy and escalating movement toward autocratic leadership around the world is alarming to many. Why is this happening ? What does it mean?  How can individuals and communities respond?  These are the questions responsible citizens and leaders are asking — questions whose exploration will impact the present and future generations to come. We are facing a critical juncture with this threat.

To delve further into these questions, the International Leadership Association (ILA) and Women4Change (W4CI) are pleased to announce our 2024 Virtual Collaboratory, “Leadership for Democracy: Self, Identity, and Freedom,” with keynote presenter Dr. Ronald Heifetz, Founder of the Center for Public Leadership and King Hussein bin Talal Senior Lecturer in Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. Dr. Heifetz is a highly respected leadership scholar, educator, author, and practitioner. His consulting, teaching methodology, and seminal books — Leadership Without Easy Answers and Leadership on the Line — have been transformational in leadership studies and systems change. Over the past ten years, Heifetz has focused much of his work on the important questions related to democracy, consulting with heads of state around the world such as former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and former President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia. See his complete bio below. 

Join us 12 September 2024, from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4) on Zoom for this critical conversation and learning experience.

Attendees will experience a rich blend of lecture, small group exercises, and discussions that lead to deeper understanding of the powerful relationship between identity, systemic change, and leadership — an essential combination in a healthy democracy. In addition to the keynote, discussants Angela Carr Klitzsch (CEO of Women4Change) and Mike Hardy (Professor and Executive Director of the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University and Board Chair for the International Leadership Association) will lead the post-presentation discussion with Dr. Heifetz and collaboratory attendees.
