Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The Aspen Institute was founded on the conviction that a better society requires better leaders who are more self-aware, more self-correcting, and more humane.
The Aspen Executive Seminar on Leadership, Values, and the Good Society carries forward that mission by challenging senior leaders engage with the ideas and ideals that have shaped our world and the forces that challenge or change them today.
With a small cohort of peers, the Aspen Executive Seminar creates space for conversations that stretch thinking, challenge assumptions, and invite participants to consider not just what they believe, but how those beliefs motivate their actions in the world, shaping how they lead.
Using our signature, text-based dialogue, the Aspen Executive Seminar equips leaders from all sectors and experiences to answers to enduring questions of leadership, including: “How do I lead well and live justly in a good society?” along with the more immediate leadership questions, including: “What inner resources can I draw from to build a culture of trust, accountability, and innovation in my teams and at my workplace?”
