Leadership Challenges

Balancing Creativity And Control

Thursday 9:00-10:30 March 26, 2009

Social entrepreneurs may have comparative advantage in generating new ideas or innovations, but may struggle with execution and control. Is it possible to build innovative institutions that are around for the long haul without crowding out the charismatic element of social entrepreneurship? Can visionaries build high-performing teams, and if so how? In a climate of increased expectation around legitimacy, transparency and measurement, how can one get the balance right? Join leading practitioners and thought leaders for a candid discussion on this vitally important success factor.
