Rapid and radical changes in business and society are requiring  that today’s leaders advance not just their organization’s performance, but also their purpose and people. To succeed in this environment, leaders need to practice a very different - and demanding - skill set, where they can adapt their behavior moment by moment as conditions change, transcending the limitations of past habits and personality. Is it even possible for a leader to bring such diversity and flexibility to their behavior, where they are agreeable in one moment, and assertive in another, visionary in one moment, pragmatic in another, and so on?  

In fact, it is. Inspiring leaders across history, such as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln have shown that ordinary people can learn to lead in extraordinary ways. In this talk, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa draws on fifteen years of his research and teaching that blends the science of human nature with historical study of great leaders to offer a fresh model for leadership that is simple, inspiring and accessible to all. He describes how leaders can attain great heights of effectiveness by activating their five Core Energies and translating them into simple actions that bring out the best in themselves and others in every situation. By operating from their Inner Core, leaders can develop their own personalized pathway to success, choosing the right actions in every situation, instead of following rigid frameworks and checklists.
