Leadership in London

How Do Leaders Deal with the Challenges of Revolutionary Change?

Join us in London, England, January 12-13, 2007, at the Notre Dame Centre to study the real choices leaders must make to manage in a fast-changing, high-stakes environment.  The Notre Dame International Leadership Series is pleased to present Leadership in a Revolutionary Age, a new program offering cutting-edge perspectives on leadership. 

This unique program is perfect for managers, senior executives, Notre Dame Alumni, friends of the University, and anyone, at any stage of their career, interested in broadening and enriching their understanding of the range of skills required of a successful leader.  Leadership in a Revolutionary Age draws on an epoch-making period of history to offer invaluable lessons, and cautions, about the ways in which leaders choose to confront crisis and rapid change.

For two days you will examine and draw important lessons from the American Revolutionary period (1776-1815), a time offering extraordinary opportunities for assessing leadership and the obstacles and constraints leaders on both sides of the Atlantic had to deal with as they faced unprecedented widespread radical change. 

World-class British and American historians will immerse you in the context of the time, challenge you to think in new ways, and help you to develop an enhanced understanding of, and appreciation for, the skills required to lead wisely, boldly, and successfully through times of tumultuous change.  Segueing from past to the present, the faculty will also assess current leadership issues in America, Britain, and Europe.

By program’s end, you will have developed a deeper, richer understanding of the ways in which leaders respond to the challenges of revolutionary change, and of the leadership characteristics that can decide success - or failure.

Engineers in London?

Last night's Student/Alumni Career Night at the London Centre was a tremendous success. Many thanks to Ken B. Krishnan C, Peter F, John K, Patrick L, Elliot M, and Kevin R as well as the two dozen + students who attended.

There are quite a few engineers participating in this semester's London Program; there were a few questions regarding the number of London-based alumni who may have majored in science and engineering during undergrad, and what they're doing today. If this sounds like you and you're open to mentoring some of this semester's students, please let Krista know.
