More and more, CEOs and other business leaders are asked to engage in dialogue on large-scale issues of societal importance. This class is designed to help students build the ability to foster open and productive conversation on these issues, particularly in contentious discussions amongst those who disagree. Throughout this course, students will learn and practice creating space for multiple competing viewpoints and generating productive conversations. Students will then put these new skills to work by hosting debriefs of the Leadership for Society webinar series
GSBGEN 495. This Fall, the series will address the theme Reimagining Work Post-COVID. Students enrolled in GSBGEN394 will participate in class sessions on Mondays and Thursdays from 1:30-2:50 and, as a practicum, manage 45-minute debriefs of the
GSBGEN 495 webinar series each week. Students will be able to note their preferred time for the practicum, which will be offered Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays from 12:15-1:00 or 6:15-7:00.

GSBGEN 495: Leadership for Society: Reimagining Work Post-COVID
This course aims to deepen our understanding of the institution of work and to collaboratively reimagine its structures in a world vastly changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a series of conversations with a diverse array of prominent leaders, we will explore the role of work in our everyday lives and in the formations of our society. From policy and business, to academic and philanthropic leaders, candid and honest conversations with guest speakers will expose students to concrete examples of how their future decisions can affect others. Students will participate in regular peer debriefs, furthering understanding of these issues and building comfort in engaging in open and productive conversation across a wide range of perspectives. Our hope is that this course supports your personal growth and helps prepare you to become the kind of leader our society needs.
