There are hundreds of Insights to explore that we hope raise people’s consciousness and elevate the conversation by exploring today’s world through the lens of The HOW philosophy.
In this lecture, Dov Seidman will discuss the implications of our reshaped world and the imperatives that creates for leaders, and for each of us.
Today, as the winners eloquently illustrate in their essays, the need for ethical thinking and action is more urgent than ever. In our hyper-connected, interdependent world, we can now feel the hope, dreams, frustrations, and anger of millions of others instantly. News of injustice and mistreatment spreads in an instant; the moral distance between us is disappearing. But the same technologies that connect us are also being used to undermine truth and trust. Never before have these twin pillars of society been under such widespread and continual assault.
Last week, the inaugural class of The HOW Institute For Society’s NXT-GEN Fellowship for Moral Leadership reached a meaningful milestone. The Fellows, extraordinary individuals with uncommon humanity and boundless talent, are the first cohort to complete the Fellowship. I’d like to take a moment to reflect on and celebrate their achievement.

It’s fashionable to push for education reform these days, but the results of our various programs and initiatives are often harder to pinpoint exactly. American students’ achievement remains stagnant compared with their international peers, and just this year U.S. students received the lowest overall scores in a decade on the SAT. Despite the movements to create better math and science-based STEM programs, and to limit the number of vocabulary words students need to know for standardized tests, it seems our focus for what our children need to know is narrowing even further when it should be doing the opposite: expanding.
It’s always a good time to ask what kind of leadership we need because the world is constantly changing. But the world is not only changing. It’s being dramatically reshaped, making us ask the question not just with more urgency but through a different lens.
Remember those 20th Century debates we had about whether leaders were born or made?
How? That was the question posed to UNMC leadership at a workshop held recently at the Scott Conference Center.
