Former GM, Author, Coach & Intent Consulting Founder Omar L. Harris will give Keynote at Leadership Harrisburg Area Galactic Graduation Event, titled: “From Servant Leadership to JEDI Leadership.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To help future leaders succeed, Former GM, Author, Coach, Intent Consulting Founder and Tympio.io Inclusion App Founder Omar L. Harris will give the Keynote Speech at the Leadership Harrisburg Area Galactic Graduation Event on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, 11:00am – 1:00pm EST, titled: "From Servant Leadership to JEDI Leadership." This inspirational event will celebrate three graduating classes at FNB Field with approximately 400+ participants on Harrisburg's City Island, where family, friends and colleagues can gather safely outside to celebrate.

To encourage leaders to evolve beyond Servant Leadership, Harris will discuss why J.E.D.I. Leadership (social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) is a must for corporations, small businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive moving forward with leadership examples. With every company re-evaluating their DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) strategy, Harris believes that all managers must be part of the solution versus just hiring a Chief Diversity Officer.

Once you decide that to truly serve and support your people you need to focus your efforts on eradicating injustice and eliminating inequity, while embracing diversity, and enhancing inclusion. It is at this point you are becoming a J.E.D.I. Leader. - Former GM, Author, and Speaker Omar L. Harris

Post this

During this Keynote, Harris will emphasize, "Once you decide that to truly serve and support your people you need to focus your efforts on eradicating injustice and eliminating inequity, while embracing diversity, and enhancing inclusion. It is at this point you are becoming a J.E.D.I. Leader."

Based on 20+ years of executive leadership experience at global pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer, Merck, Schering-Plough, GSK, Allergan and more), Harris successfully led diverse teams on four continents (U.S., Middle East, Asia and Latin America), and now helps organizations and managers advance at all levels.

While working as the GM for Allergan in Brazil in 2020, Harris was the only African-American GM in the world for this global pharmaceutical company. And with almost 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs being white males (yet they represent only 35% of the population) and less than 1% (3) African American CEOs, Harris believes that major change is needed. Attendees will hear how Martin Luther King Jr's final speech, "I've been to the Mountaintop" (April 3, 1968) had many powerful messages, along with Servant Leadership and J.E.D.I. Leadership examples from today.

Based on his Harris' new book, "Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss: Leadership in the Era of Corporate Social Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion" (Summer 2021) and global leadership experience, his keynote will highlight:

  • Why J.E.D.I. Leadership goals matter so much today for future business success.
  • How Servant Leaders are uniquely positioned to deliver J.E.D.I. Leadership.
  • Why managers today must shift from "Me to We."
  • How to apply leadership lessons from Martin Luther King Jr's Final Speech.
  • How Martin Luther King Jr. used "humility, will and empathy" to transition from Servant Leader to J.E.D.I. Leader.
  • How current CEOs have successfully used both Servant Leadership and J.E.D.I. Leadership to address social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion today.
  • Why companies need to shift from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism to improve outcomes for employees, customers, communities, the environment, and shareholders.
