Chair Welcome and Introductions | Leading & Managing in an Era of Disruptive Demographics and "Certain-Uncertainty"

Disruptive demographics are dramatically transforming all of nation’s social, economic, and political institutions. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic and the nation-wide protests spawned by the recent spate of senseless killing of unarmed Blacks have illuminated what executive development professionals have been telling private and public sector leaders and /managers for quite some time. We are living in an era of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—a VUCA World. “Certain-uncertainty” is the new normal in today’s society and economy, which requires new leadership capabilities and managerial competencies to properly respond to our nation’s changing demographics and weather the current and future crises we almost sure to face. Join us for an illuminating discussion of the six disruptive demographic trends that will change America forever and the “new” leadership toolkit required to manage turbulence and uncertainty.
