Overview

Herb Rubenstein has thought, written, lectured extensively and developed a unique perspective on leadership that he supports with many examples of successful leaders. He distinguishes between "leaders" and "leaders of leaders". Leaders are people who see existing problems and develop solutions for those problems with the support of the group they lead. Leaders of leaders play the more important role of developing organizational "platforms" for preventing whole classes of problems from arising in the first place and guiding leaders when problems arise within the organization. The future would be brighter if society encouraged more leaders of leaders to emerge, but Herb believes that most Western societies only encourage the emergence of leaders, not leaders of leaders. In his talk, Herb will explore how we can encourage the emergence of more leaders of leaders in the future through improved technology, more ethical decision making frameworks, and other tools.
