“Transformational leaders don’t start by denying the world around them. Instead, they describe a future they’d like to create instead.” – Seth Godin
A transformational leader drives innovation and inspires new ways of thinking, harnessing a team’s creativity to respond to change —both internally and externally. How can your organization operationalize transformational leadership in alignment with your mission and vision? What programs or initiatives has your organization deployed that align with urgent debates, the outcomes of which will shape the future?
This half-day workshop will engage leaders in thoughtful dialogue and active small group discussion. Each participant will leave the session with a draft action plan for transformative leadership.
In small groups, we will:
- Identify the alignment between your organization’s mission and programs
- Discuss the barriers/challenges to accomplishing meaningful change
- Use an action planning rubric to align mission with action

The dialogue will be facilitated by:
- Dr. Patricia Bagsby, Associate Dean for Graduate Education, Medart Chair in Family Business, Assistant Professor of Management, Chaifetz School of Business, Saint Louis University
- Dr. Barnali Gupta, Edward Jones Dean, Chaifetz School of Business, and Professor of Economics, Saint Louis University
