As our nation careens from one crisis to the next, there is a growing cry for fresh leadership. Those in charge have repeatedly fallen short, and trust in institutions has plummeted. So, what does great leadership look like? And how are great leaders made? In his new book Hearts Touched by Fire: How Great Leaders are Made, David Gergen offers a playbook for the next generation of change-makers. By linking lessons of the past with the ever-changing practice of leadership today, Gergen reveals the time-tested secrets of dynamic leadership.

Join us for a conversation with David Gergen, professor of public service and founding director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard Kennedy School, and Mia Mends, CEO of Impact Ventures, Sodexo North America & Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, to understand how great leaders are made and the fundamental elements of effective leadership.

We are pleased to present this program as part of a special partnership with Leadership Now Project and the Harvard Business School Club of Houston.
