Empowering Diverse Workers through Conscious Leadership (#12780)

Session Chair: Sunita Singh Sengupta
Co-chair: Payal Kumar
Panelists: Arup Varma
Panelist: Meredith A. Newman
Panelist: Ashish Malik
The participating scholars will present their thoughts on: How can we have a HUMAN framework of leadership in the workplace that binds all irrespective of what their personal beliefs and perceptions are? How can we align and engage each and every employee to work towards a common goal with the same enthusiasm and effort? How can we dig deep into human consciousness and find the common meaning and purpose that puts human advancement and mutual growth at the forefront? The challenge is to focus on pure human consciousness and find the elements that make us human and bring us together as a collective force.
The aim of this panel symposium is to engage a group of eminent panelists in a formal, moderated, interactive discussion om (1) the context of empowering a diverse workforce and the role of conscious leadership; (2) the panelists' interpretation of them; (3) the relationships among them; (4) the implications of their use in a culturally diverse work environment; and (5) how they can be measured.

Symposium
Realigning Teaching To Cultivate Emotional Intelligence in Students (# 13547)
Monday 7th 10 am to 11.30 am, Sheraton Boston Hotel, Public garden, fifth floor.
Building on research that focused on the 'what' and 'why' of emotional intelligence, this symposium presents four papers from authors representing five countries, that provide empirical evidence on the 'how' of enhancing emotional intelligence amongst students. Only then will students be able to successfully navigate geo-political shifts in workers' identity including unrest at the workplace, mass resignations and intensified labor activism. Through this symposium we hope to encourage teachers to draw on constructivist strategies to create experiential, multi-disciplinary and transformational pedagogies, in which the teacher is both co-learner and role model, while the student is an active and fairly autonomous learner.
