Leadership for an Uncertain Time with author Margaret Wheatley
|
| Description: |
Hosted by the Wally and Louise Bishop Center for Ethical Leadership, Margaret Wheatley will discuss Leadership for an Uncertain Time. Wheatley, an organizational consultant, writes, teaches and speaks about how we might organize and accomplish our work in chaotic times.
She has written four books: Leadership and the New Science (in twenty languages and third edition), Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to Restore Hope to the Future (in two editions), A Simpler Way (with Myron Rogers) and, most recently, Finding Our Way: Leadership for an Uncertain Time.
Since 1973, Wheatley has worked with a broad variety of organizations; she has worked with large corporations, government agencies, healthcare institutions, foundations, public schools and professional associations. As a consultant, she has helped these organizations as they wrestle with a common dilemma – how to maintain their integrity and effectiveness as they cope with the upheavals and rapid shifts innate to these chaotic times.

Can This Health System Be Saved?: Law, Culture, Politics and Reform"
|
| Description: |
Health reform. Is it possible? A variety of factors influence the debate on America's health care system. What is the connection to the American Tort law system? How does this compare to other nations' laws and health care systems? Does a bipartisan plan exist? What will this mean for our senior population, many of whom consider health care a primary concern? Our panelists will examine the current health care situation and explore some of the reform options from the legal, political and 'human' perspectives.
Moderator:
Ray Arsenault, the John Hope Franklin Professor of Southern History and Co-Director of the Florida Studies Program at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg
Discussant Leaders include:
Tony Brunello, a Professor of Political Science at Eckerd College, has published widely in the fields of comparative politics and political philosophy.
Elaine Gould, founder of Aging Awareness Initiatives, works in the field of gerontology to enhance awareness of the "older adult perspective."
Timothy Kaye teaches Advanced Tort Law and Jurisprudence at Stetson University College of Law. Professor Kaye explores the way in which the American system of Tort law influences health care reform, especially in a comparative context that examines European law and health care systems.
