21st Century Leadership with David Gergen: The Rising Generation

Join some of today’s most high-profile, innovative and sometimes surprising leaders to explore how leadership is changing in the digital age.

How is leadership defined in an era in which technology, entrepreneurism and social good are growing increasingly linked? How are the most forward-thinking leaders combining enduring values with innovation and change in a rapidly changing world?
