SOIL is happy to announce our first conference on Inspired Leadership. This will bring together a microcosm of the planet’s leaders in business, government, ‘Not for Profit’, Education, performing arts etc. The world today needs global leaders to think beyond themselves and their countries; School Of Inspired Leadership endeavours to bring the community together by hosting this conference on Inspired Leadership. The conference will provoke thoughts about Inspired Leadership and how can it be empowered by the five values that SOIL believes in – Mindfulness, Compassion, Ethics, Sustainability and Diversity.
The planet is in grave danger. Ecological disasters, economic crises, terrorism, the increasing gap between the rich and the poor - are all signs of this man made catastrophe. We cannot solve these complex problems by the existing ways of doing and managing. We have to take responsibility by leading in ‘whole systems’ ways. We cannot make dangerous tradeoffs by stimulating greater consumption to solve economic recession; by engaging in wars to bring about peace; by creating new cities to improve living standards of the rural poor; by reducing ‘emissions’ to impact global warming etc. We need to dig deep into the reservoirs of ancient wisdom to look at how our ancestors lived in harmony with Mother Nature and ask new questions that make us behave like one global family and raise our ‘consciousness’.
The conference will be held on 29th and 30th of Jan 2010 at the SOIL campus in Gurgaon. It will have three distinct parts:
Plenary sessions with business leaders of repute :
- Mr. Arun Maira, Member Planning Commission; Mr. Muthuraman, Vice Chairman, Tata Steel; Senator Abbie Cornett of Omaha
- Workshop on Inspired Leadership by Peter Block, author and consultant
- Open Space Learning for over 10 hours facilitated by Anne Stadler, Founder of Spirited Work and the Open Space Institute of USA
