Herb Rubenstein distinguishes between “leaders” and “leaders of leaders”. Leaders are people who see existing problems and develop solutions for those problems with the support of the group they lead. “Leaders of leaders” employ foresight and organizational tools to envision and avoid entire classes of problems from arising. They guide leaders when problems arise within the organization. The future would be brighter if society encouraged more “leaders of leaders’ to emerge. Herb believes that most Western societies only encourage the emergence of leaders, not leaders of leaders. In his talk, Herb will explore how we can encourage the emergence of more leaders of leaders in the future through improved technology, more ethical decision making frameworks, and other tools.
