Why performance breaks when human needs go out of balance: A participatory keynote.
About this Event

Many leadership challenges labelled as “performance,” “motivation,” or “engagement” are actually problems of imbalance. When fundamental human needs are overlooked or get out of balance, energy drops, trust erodes, and organizations rely more on control than commitment.

In this participatory keynote workshop, Prof. Michael Pirson, Professor at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business and Founder of the Humanistic Leadership Institute, invites senior leaders to explore a different way of understanding organizational performance.

Using the lens of four fundamental human drives, participants will actively reflect on real organizational situations and examine where leadership systems unintentionally drain energy or undermine dignity. Rather than offering best practices or prescriptions, the session focuses on diagnosis, judgment, and leadership trade-offs.

This is not a lecture and not a traditional workshop. The format combines a concise conceptual framing with guided reflection and small-group discussion, allowing participants to apply the ideas directly to their own leadership context.

This event will be held at Anew, a gathering space and discovery center for the social impact community. Food and Drinks will be provided and are generously sponsored by Eat Offbeat and Connect Source Consulting.
