Just as COVID-19 is changing lives, it is also stimulating leaders to re-assess their own worldview and discern how to step up to the pandemic challenge more effectively. It is forcing us to change ourselves, our roles and how we partner in order to better manage and live with, if not defeat, the virus.
GHM’s three-part 2021 October Symposium “The Global Health Puzzle: How do we fit together now?” will explore how the ground has shifted in Global Health since the pandemic and what this means for public-private partnering and the role of organizations like GHM.
Lessons for Global Health Leaders: Leaders are curious and voracious learners. They constantly assess the environment and update their perspective and “map of the world.” It is from this informed basis that they drive action.
Leaders Adapt: “How do I seek out diverse sources of credible insight and learn from other leaders?”
Leaders Act: “How do I register for GHM’s Annual Symposium? The first session starts at noon CT on Wednesday, 6 October. Subsequent sessions will be 13 October and 20 October.
Leaders also celebrate: Happy 76th Birthday to the United Nations! The United Nations’ charter became effective 24 October, 1945.*
Asante/Gracias/Misaotra/Merci/Thank you for joining GHM’s 2021 Annual Symposium to enhance your perspective and worldview.
