2020 YL Empowerment Experience - Closing Keynote - Sumreen Ahmad

CLOSING KEYNOTE – Empowerment for Change – Community: Leading in the New – In Pursuit of a Better World for All Key Takeaways: Leading organizational cultures that drive innovation prioritize the quest for empowerment at the core of their efforts. The role of the virtuous leader, with increased demand for compassion, vulnerability and courage to lead particularly in times of crisis. Corporate social responsibility has heightened focus on the moral and ethical obligations of a company with regards to their employees, the environment, their competitors, the economy and back to the communities in which they serve. Empowerment relies on a high degree of interconnectedness between individuals, businesses and communities. Partnerships between the public, private and non-profit sectors are no longer an option, they are essential. At the intersection of the for profit and nonprofit sectors, we are better positioned to challenge the assumptions about the way things are and more importantly can and should be. As business leaders, we have the added responsibility to model the behaviors and influence others to drive meaningful change. Speaker: Sumreen Ahmad Global Change Management Lead Accenture
