Dear MSR colleagues, Greetings!
You are cordially invited to attend the following session on Tuesday (August 13) at 1:15pm (Marriott in Cook):
| Humanity is facing major global challenges and finds itself at divergent cross-roads of precarious consequences. The disruptive change triggered by the global pandemic has called into question much of our settled views about how workplaces and other social institutions are supposed to operate. We are facing crisis in which we no longer feel that we can control the situation. Now even a bigger threat looms large on humanity's horizon sparked by growing geopolitical polarities and incessant wars of narratives, necessitating to choose between self-annihilation and peaceful co-existence. Organizations and leaders can play a key role in helping us choose wisely between peaceful co-existence and no existence. It means, above all, peace for us all and our loved ones, a chance for our children to grow up as happy and useful citizens rather than to end their days in wooden boxes on distant battlefields. During these high-intensity moments, we must build on the lessons we have learned so far and help leaders and organizations to embrace innovative principles and values to not only survive but also to thrive during turbulent times. The symposium draws upon various wisdom and contemplative traditions of the world in leading organizations to harness peaceful co-existence. |
