Crisis Leadership: Outer Impact Through Inner Mastery – Values as a Tool for Leadership in Transformative Times (Dr. Paul Ingram, Columbia University, USA, 2 hrs.)
This two-hour webinar will present a practical, interactive guide to effective leadership during crises. It will consist of two domains:
A - Personal Leadership: The Role of Values
Leadership is a social act, but effective leadership begins with 
leading ones’ self. We will offer guidance and a practical tool for personal leadership in crises through the lens of values. We will begin with a discussion of how leaders rely on their values during crises, including examples. We will then conduct a hands-on exercise helping the participants identify their most salient values, so they can rely on them during crises for motivation, decision making, stress management and trust building.
B - Interpersonal Leadership: Inspiration and Inclusion
Responding to crises takes a team. Effective leaders bring out the best in the people they lead during a crisis. We will again begin with examples and go on to identify best practices for inspiring a team to operate effectively during crises and making the most of their efforts and perspectives to solve novel problems. A key concept will be what the leader can do to produce psychological safety during the crisis.
Learning Outcomes:
- Participants will be able to identify the top values that can be called on during a crisis to:
- (1) Make decisions;
- (2) Motivate;
- (3) Resist stress

- (5) Act ethically.
- Participants will be able to demonstrate best practices for inspiring and including others during a crisis, including:
- (1) Using tools for producing psychological safety;
- (2) Identifying what to communicate and when.

In this age of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Chat Bots, Globalization, and Robotics, the one skill that can separate – leaders, managers, entrepreneurs – from technology and your peers is mastering the ancient art of persuasion. Combining words and ideas to ignite imagination. PowerPoints and Excel spreadsheets may be necessary, but they are not sufficient.

How You Can Be a Successful Business Leader in Times of Crisis: Defining Expectations & Using Emotion to Inspire (Dr. James Bailey, The George Washington University, USA, 2 hrs.)
The purpose of this webinar is to show how leadership is mainly an emotional relationship. The fact that leadership is about emotion is supported by two decades of brain research. People choose their leaders because of how those leaders make them feel. Humans respond to the environment emotionally first. This is especially so in crisis. During crisis, the emotional state leaders bring about makes the difference between succeeding and floundering.
