Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others
BONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Inspire from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Galinsky and Edmondson that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page.
Social psychologist and leadership expert Adam Galinsky, Ph.D. has spent three decades building a method for determining when we are inspiring versus infuriating, and where various leaders—presidents, CEOs, coaches, teachers, parents, and a wealth of others—currently land on that spectrum. In his new book Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others, Galinsky shows how inspiring leaders can fill us with a wellspring of hope and possibility as they guide us to become better versions of ourselves. In contrast, infuriating leaders disappoint and annoy, fueling seething cauldrons of rage. But both types of leaders are deeply connected—together, they represent a universal continuum that is rooted in the very architecture of the human brain. This means that inspiring leaders aren’t born—instead, we can inspire or infuriate in any given moment through our behavior, words, or presence.
Whether you’re a leader, a member of a team, a spouse, or a parent, this engaging and rigorous exploration unpacks the science of inspiration. Through compelling stories, fascinating research, and practical tips for addressing the common dilemmas we face daily, Inspire reveals how all of us, regardless of status or circumstance, can be more inspiring more often.
Galinsky is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School and has published more than 200 scientific articles on leadership, negotiations, diversity, and ethics. He is an Executive/Associate Producer on two documentaries short-listed for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards.
Galinsky will be in conversation with Amy C. Edmondson, Ph.D., the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. She studies teaming, psychological safety, and organizational learning.
This event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
