LEADERSHIP FOR FLOURISHING STREAM |
Reimagining leadership as inspiring human flourishing
The stream is series of inspirational talks, interactive workshops and panel discussions on the science and art of leading and flourishing for leaders from all sectors and in all roles, from CEO’s and board members to those in their first jobs. We believe everyone has the potential to improve the flourishing of those they work with and the people in our communities through small actions, that, when combined have a big impact.
‘Leadership for Flourishing’ is a collaboration between the Oxford Character Project, the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University, and Global Social Leaders. The Oxford Character Project is an interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Oxford, dedicated to the cultivation of character and responsible leadership. The Human Flourishing Program aims to study and promote human flourishing, and to develop systematic approaches to the synthesis of knowledge across disciplines.
