Teaching today at Kent State’s graduate business program on negotiations and specifically negotiating in influence networks, a carryover from my work in California this past week.
I am very happy with my bright and talented, not to mention irreverent and still respectful group who get that collaborators out-think adversaries. They get that dialogue leads to richer synergies of polarities. It is reassuring knowing this is the emergent generation poised to fill in the baby boomer retirement leadership gaps.
What is the fate of outdated leaders who on the other hand do not understand the value of relationships and social capital in a networked world?
