About the talk:
Anne Pratt believes we have a leadership and existential crisis worldwide. The world is in a pivotal “Mandela Moment,” a twin pillar moment of despair and hope with global threats that transcend our national borders. National thinking cannot survive. Nelson Mandela transformed himself, changed a nation, and galvanized the world. As Mandela did for South Africa, today’s world needs a “super cognitive revolution and bold leadership—a revolutionary new way to think, act and lead.” Pratt will present how Mandela’s leadership blueprint is the future of leadership and “what the world needs now.” The life, leadership, and legacy of Mandela offer an empirical case of hope and possibility for today’s world.
