The Global Leadership Symposium: 'Embracing Disruption'

The Global Leadership Symposium: "Embracing Disruption" is the first convocation of the McCain Institute’s first 45 global Next Generation Leaders (NGLs) around their diverse leadership action topics. The Symposium will draw attention to leadership challenges and solutions, engage NGLs, guest speakers, program partners, and The McCain Institute team. We will host a spirited discussion of pressing questions that face today’s character-driven leaders in business, civil society, women’s empowerment, good governance, youth development, politics.

The Next Generation Leaders Program is The McCain Institute’s flagship activity, designed to identify, train, network and empower a diverse group of emerging, character-driven leaders through one year of targeted professional and personal development. With a core focus on values, ethics and leadership, the goal of the program is to create a capable and lasting global network of character-driven leaders who shape the world we will inhabit in the future.
