There and back again…

22 June 2020 – This week, the United Nations Office at Geneva and the World Academy of Art and Science held a virtual conference called Strategies for Transformative Global Leadership.

There is an urgent need to fill the global leadership vacuum in order to address the complex, pressing challenges confronting humanity today. Leadership is needed at all levels in all fields. Leadership is a catalytic process that can accomplish what leaders cannot. The leadership needed must be inspired by universal values and visionary ideas, energized by high goals and awareness of untapped opportunities, given expression by courageous individuals, implemented by innovative organizations, and fulfilled by awakening and unleashing the aspirations of the whole society.

The 90-min session can be viewed here.
