What Global C-Suite Leaders Told Us: Five Trends Redefining Leadership Today
Thursday, 29 October, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
What does it take to lead in a world defined by disruption, technological acceleration, and growing complexity? ILA and the Center for Creative Leadership brought together C-Suite leaders across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia who pointed to 5 trends reshaping what effective global leadership requires, and what organizations must do differently to develop leaders who are ready. In this session, we’ll share the research and the conversations before delving into the five trends: eroding institutional trust, accelerating AI adoption, geopolitical volatility, and a leadership pipeline that many describe as underprepared for the moment.

Healthcare Leadership for 2027 and Beyond: What's Needed, What's Best, and What's Ethical?
Thursday, 29 October, 2:45 – 3:45 p.m.
Healthcare leaders are working in a landscape shaped by rapid technological advancement, shifting demographics, evolving patient expectations, and global health challenges that arrive faster than institutions can adapt. Innovation alone doesn’t answer this. Neither does ethics. This panel examines how the two have to work in concert.
Healthcare executives and thought leaders will share what is genuinely top of mind for them right now — the innovation priorities driving their work, and how inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility are built into those priorities rather than appended to them. From there, the conversation turns practical: Obstacles that others are likely to recognize, including those that can be addressed and those that must be worked around because they won’t be fixed quickly; Strategies that look promising, framed concretely enough that participants could test them in their own contexts; AI’s role in both the obstacles and the strategies, now and in the near term; Resources already available to those doing this work; and Leadership lessons — what it will actually take to advance the visions the panelists describe.
Throughout, panelists will speak to three vantage points: everyday leaders such as managers who influence practice without setting organizational strategy; executives and decision-makers; and researchers studying this terrain. Each panelist will close with a one-sentence statement of their central message before the floor opens to audience questions. Participants will leave with a clearer read on where healthcare innovation and ethics are converging, a set of strategies worth trying, and a sense of which obstacles are shared across institutions — and which are theirs alone to solve.

Leadership: WTF (What's the Future)!
Saturday, 31 October, 8:30- 9:30 a.m.
When Bernard Bass founded the Center for Leadership Studies (now the Bernard M. and Ruth R. Bass Center for Leadership Studies) at Binghamton University in 1987, leadership research was a small field with one journal and a handful of committed scholars. Nearly forty years on, the Bass Center’s faculty have shaped much of what the field publishes, serving as editors, associate editors, and editorial board members at The Leadership Quarterly and other leading outlets. Its current research spans collective leadership for the U.S. Army, complexity science approaches to team innovation, and leadership models for long-duration space missions such as to Mars. This featured panel brings together ILA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Francis J. Yammarino, Director Emeritus of the Bass Center, with colleagues who have led it since. Together they trace leadership scholarship: its origins, current issues and what’s next, including how AI, network science and technology may reshape the questions worth asking.

Janaki Gooty
Professor of Management and Organization Science, Belk College of Business and Center for Leadership Science, University of North Carolina – Charlotte
Janaki Gooty is the co-founder and co-director for the Center for Leadership Science (CLS), professor in the Belk College of Business, and the interdisciplinary Organizational Science doctoral program at UNC Charlotte. Additionally, she previously was Senior Associate Editor at the Leadership Quarterly, President of Southern Management Association, Program Director for the JL Price MBA (Charlotte) and, Representative-at-Large of the RMD division of the Academy of Management. She currently sits the editorial boards of several other journals, and was a winner of the Charlotte Business Journal’s 2023 Women in Business and Power 100 awards as well as the Hunt Award for Outstanding Service, the highest honor awarded by the Southern Management Association. She has secured private and federal funding for her research in leadership. Her research focuses on leadership with a specific focus on relationships as the focal unit of analysis. Specifically, the role of inclusive sampling and research designs in understanding how leadership is enacted and is effective, emotion as information in enacting leadership and cultivating relationships, and multi-level methods. Via inductive and deductive inclusive sampling strategies, she investigates if leadership theories* might need to be redefined in response to the changing business and socio-political environment. Concepts such as leader identity, leader behaviors or crisis leadership, for example, are socially constructed and those meanings might change over time and in different contextual conditions. Her second area focuses on the role of emotions, especially moral emotions in motivating leaders and followers to ethical action; and how leaders leverage values and expressed emotions in leader-follower relationships in co-creating shared realities. Overall, Dr. Gooty’s work prioritizes a humanized approach to leadership with phronesis (practical wisdom) at the core of leading well.
