Details
What is the role of managers in promoting economic and social justice?
How can we, as future business leaders, manage towards a more equitable society?
Join us for a candid discussion of these questions with three inspiring executives who are committed to creating good, accessible jobs for workers in contexts that range from an entrepreneurial packaging business to one of the world's largest employers.
- Gayatri Agnew (Walmart, Sr. Director - Walmart Giving)
- Al Fuller (Integrated Packaging Corp., CEO)
- Julie Bertani-Kiser (Recology, Chief HR Officer)
We'll explore which approaches to management have proven more resilient and successful during these troubling times, as well as how managers might respond to situations where equitable management appears to conflict with profitability.
This event is part of a series titled Redefining Management: Leadership for Social Progress in Troubled Times, brought to you by MIT Sloan's People & Organizations Club, Good Companies Good Jobs Initiative, and the Student Life Office.
