Join Gies College of Business faculty for timely conversations that connect research and expertise with the business challenges shaping today's world. Faculty Perspectives hosted by Gies Graduate Programs brings faculty insights beyond the classroom, offering fresh thinking and practical perspectives for professionals across industries.
In this session, Elizabeth Luckman, Clinical Associate Professor of Business Administration, explores one central question: How do we cultivate the capacity to lead when leadership is called for?
We have more leadership research, frameworks, and advice available than ever before. Yet navigating uncertainty, managing conflict, balancing competing priorities, and influencing others, remain everyday challenges in the workplace
What if developing better leaders requires more than teaching leadership skills?
In this moderated conversation, Professor Luckman draws on philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to examine how we cultivate practical wisdom: the capacity to understand ourselves and others, exercise sound judgment, and act intentionally in complex situations.
Together, we'll explore how viewing leader development as human development can help us rethink common workplace challenges and what it means to develop the wisdom to lead, regardless of our title or position.
