Leadership in Uncertainty & Polarization – Dinner with Changemaker-in-Residence Peter Sloly

This event is exclusively for Junior Fellows at Massey College.

Join Peter Sloly over dinner in the Private Dining Room for a discussion on leadership.

“Leadership in Uncertainty & Polarization” – In 2015, a group of leading experts from the military, national security agencies, and police agencies all agreed that the biggest global threat for the 2020’s would be the “death of truth” where countries and citizens around the world would have significantly declining trust in the basic facts and the institutions that underpin functioning societies. A global risk report just announced that AI enabled misinformation/disinformation was the number one global risk in 2024. Peter Sloly will host a dinner and facilitate a leadership session that explores how todays emerging leaders can lead in such uncertain and polarizing times.
