AUS Library Ed Talks: An Author Talk with Dr. John Katsos

Location: LIB-019

Join us for an engaging Author Talk with Dr. John Katsos as he presents his recent publication: Ethical leadership in conflict and crisis: Evidence from leaders on how to make more peaceful, sustainable, and profitable communities

Abstract: How can business leaders navigate through a world of polycrisis? This work blends historical lessons, firsthand accounts, and ethical perspectives on crisis to fill a key gap in our understanding of effective, ethical leadership through settings of crisis, conflict and/or fragility.

Pulling from historical events and contemporary research, this Element looks past individual crises and explores a world of overlapping, permanent crises, or "polycrisis." It contrasts traditional leadership responses with values of community and authenticity, emphasizing the necessity of ethical and servant leadership when conventional business strategies fail.
