Artistic Integrity: Maestro Kent Nagano & Prof. Nancy J Adler

Artistic Integrity and Leadership
Going Beyond the Dehydrated Language of Management
A Leadership Dialogue with Maestro Kent Nagano, Music Director of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and Professor Nancy J. Adler, S. Bronfman Chair in Management, McGill University

May 19, 2016

The first event in the Marcel Desautels Integrated Management Symposium Series  featured a leadership dialogue between Maestro Kent Nagano, Music Director of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and Professor Nancy J Adler, S. Bronfman Chair in Management. The discussion touched on a variety of ways through which music and artistic leadership can influence society, from the social inclusion of Beethoven's Egmont Overture to the interfaith peace building of the Pontanima Choir in Sarajevo. Video from this sold-out event will be made available shortly.
The Integrated Management Symposium Series invites members of the McGill and Montreal community to explore management through intimate conversations between prominent McGill academics and world leaders in their fields. The series encourages participants to broaden their perspective in order to address the significant ecological, social, and economic challenges facing today's societies.
In 2016, MDIIM's leadership dialogues will focus on the theme of “Integrity”. Managing with integrity involves the capacity to navigate trade-offs between values and resist tensions from contradictory expectations and pressures. It is an undertaking which requires reflection on organizations, communities, and one's own values.

These free symposia are generously supported by MDIIM’s benefactor, Marcel Desautels, C.M., LLD’07.
