Global Majority Leadership: Reclaiming Executive Education for a Multicultural World

This talk with Shiva Roofeh, Organizational Justice Facilitator & Trainer, explores the issue of cultural imperialism in current executive education and professional development, which is dominated by Eurocentric leadership philosophies and methods. We will discuss the need to actively seek and incorporate diverse leadership models and philosophies from the global majority community, which are often community-centered, equity-focused, and sustainability-minded. This is a unique opportunity for global majority educators, trainers, and facilitators to reconnect with their ancestral leadership wisdoms and share them with clients, promoting a truly sustainable, multicultural, and inclusive world because we don’t only need diverse leaders, we also need diverse leadership models and philosophies.
