Thank you for your interest in Voices in Leadership programming! We launched a new webpage for our Harvard Chan Studio events in January 2022. Older programs are archived below; for the newest events please click here.
During the coronavirus outbreak, our regular series has been modified in two important ways. The first is that we will be broadcast using Zoom. And the second, is that we are creating a very special focus on what it takes to lead in crisis, especially during this global pandemic.
This series invites leaders to speak candidly about their experience as forerunners in their area of expertise. The program is produced in The Leadership Studio for a private audience and webcast live around the world. Highly interactive, the videos are then posted with searchable transcripts for future viewing. Learn about effective decisions and ones that failed. Hear behind-the-scenes stories from newsworthy events. Engage with accomplished leaders as they reflect on their careers and share lessons learned.
