Managing Outrage in a Polarized World

How to Lead in A polorized World?

Organizations increasingly find themselves at the center of public attention in a world marked by polarization and societal outrage -sometimes as agents of change, others as targets for frustration. How can HR professionals and organizational leaders respond effectively while staying true to their mission and building long-term resilience?

Join Professor Karthik Ramanna, Harvard Business Review author and leadership expert, as he shares actionable insights based on his work with global organizations such as IKEA and Nestlé. This session will equip you with the tools to:

  • Understand the root causes of societal outrage.
  • Develop mission-consistent responses to complex challenges.
  • Build organizational resilience in an era of heightened expectations.

Outrage is everywhere – on the left and on the right—and many companies have
found themselves in the crosshairs. People are angry with the world—in
some cases, rightfully so—and now view companies as they do governments, as
targets of their wrath and potential forces for social change. Managing
outrage has moved from being an occasional leadership challenge, like
handling a PR crisis, to a necessary and critical leadership capability, like
strategic thinking or financial acumen. Based on his popular University of
Oxford leadership course and case studies on organizations such as IKEA,
Nestlé, the Vatican, and others, Karthik Ramanna offers practical steps to make
sense of the outrage, work with relevant stakeholders to progress through it, and
emerge stronger for it. ‘The Age of Outrage’ is an essential guide
for leaders and their teams in this new era of polarization.
