About this Event
Join us at Harvard Business School's Hawes Hall for a remarkable discussion with Karthik Ramanna, professor of business and public policy at University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, and Dutch Leonard, Eliot I. Snider and Family Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the George F. Baker, Jr. Professor of Public Sector Management at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, about how leaders and their teams can successfully navigate this new era of polarization.
Outrage is everywhere—on the left and on the right—and many companies have found themselves in the crosshairs. People are angry with the world—in some cases, rightfully so—and now view companies as they do governments, as targets of their wrath and potential forces for social change. Managing outrage has moved from being an occasional leadership challenge, like handling a PR crisis, to a necessary and critical leadership capability, like strategic thinking or financial acumen.
Based on his popular University of Oxford leadership course and case studies on organizations such as IKEA, Nestlé, the Vatican, and others, inThe Age of Outrage Karthik Ramanna offers practical steps to make sense of the outrage, work with relevant stakeholders to progress through it, and emerge stronger for it. Ramanna's pragmatic framework, developed through years of experience with organizations, helps leaders "turn down the temperature," analyze root causes, develop and implement responses that are mission-consistent, and build resilience.
