Caux Connection Time: let's meet & connect 30 minutes before the session starts

But we will connect online in the spirit of Caux to meet the world and share a moment together before we start the Ethical Leadership in Business sessions.

Livestream Panel: Leadership for a moral renewal in the economy / Followed by a networking session with speakers and participants
At a time of unprecedented crisis, business leaders have to make prompt decisions, based on a limited amount of information. Simultaneously they need to anticipate future opportunities to increase business sustainability. At times of crisis and uncertainty, it is important to reassure employees and customers – and this requires empathy, compassion and trustbuilding. At the same time, leaders need to protect business performance.

Leadership in the Community
What is my role in shaping our future? How can I take leadership for change in my community? What special role do companies and entrepreneurs have?
The Leadership in the Community workshop offers a place to explore how we can become the change we want to see in the world. As there are no pre-existing recipes, this workshop aims to help each participant define their own way of engagement and leadership.
It will focus on:
- In the context of the pandemic crisis, how do we create the right conditions for change?
- How do we help to move the narrative in the community?
- What role do I want to play?
Leader
- Gabriele Segre, Director of the Vittorio Dan Segre Foundation, will guide you through a conversation and time of introspection in a safe space, where there will be no live streaming or social media sharing.
