Do Better Team

What are the deeper roots of today’s global challenges, and what do they demand from leaders, educators, and institutions?

Drawing on his work on Theory U, Otto Scharmer, Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management and co-founder of the Presencing Institute, explores the ecological, social, and spiritual divides shaping our world, the importance of the “interior condition” of leadership, and why learning to listen differently is a critical capability in times of disruption.

The dialogue offers an invitation to rethink leadership not only as a set of skills, but as an inner journey that enables meaningful change in organizations and society. Hosted by Cristina Giménez, Professor and Director of Identity and Mission at Esade.
