Upcoming Sessions
ESG Reporting
Maggie Delmas
Professor of Strategy; Faculty Director, Center for Impact
Friday, April 19, 2024 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. PST (Virtual)
Corporate Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) reporting is all over the news these days and the ESG reporting landscape is fast moving. Managers face a bewildering number of options to adopt or disclose corporate sustainability metrics in the areas of ESG, but little accompanying information that can help them pick the most useful or effective metrics. While most companies have great ESG stories to tell, they are not sure how to share these publicly. In this session, we will help you understand what the foundational ESG metrics are and how to disclose and infuse sustainability within the company culture and leadership.
Ethical Leadership
Eugene Caruso
Professor of Management and Organizations and Behavioral Decision Making; Faculty Co-Director, Inclusive Ethics Initiative
Thursday, March 14, 2024 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. PST (Virtual)
People who work together often assume that others share their values and agree on what is important, fair, and ethical. However, we know from experience that two people looking at the same situation may come to vastly different conclusions about what is “right.” Failing to appreciate the perspective of others can lead people to be blindsided when what looks like an easy choice provokes unexpected and passionate opposition. This session will explore the ways that decisions can maximize value while also being respectful, honorable, and ethical.
The Benefits of Fresh Starts
Hengchen Dai
Associate Professor of Management and Organizations and Behavioral Decision Making
Friday, February 16, 2024 | 12:00 p.m - 1:30 p.m. PST (Virtual)
Professor Dai will share research on how fresh starts—moments that lead people to feel psychologically separated from the past—affect our decisions, motivation, and job performance. This session will investigate how and why transition points in our lives both can inspire people to aggressively begin pursuing a new goal and give people reasons to slack off. The insights from this session will help you leverage the power of fresh starts while avoiding the pitfalls when you try to influence others and when you are motivating yourself.
