Embracing Paradox: A New Agenda for Leadership in Turbulent Time

Today’s business leaders face a constant push and pull, balancing accountability with engagement, competition with collaboration, and stability with change.

In this session, Brent Smith, Ph.D, Senior Associate Dean at Rice Business, will explore how high-performing organizations thrive by leveraging these tensions, rather than resolving them. Join us to gain insights into a leadership approach built for uncertainty and transformation.
