NXT-GEN Fellowship for
Moral Leadership
“Human systems can’t function without formal authority, whether it’s the Commander in Chief, a CEO or a school principal. But what makes organizations really work is when leaders occupying those formal positions have moral authority, too. While formal authority can be seized, won or bestowed, moral authority must be earned by who you are and how you lead.” —Dov Seidman
WHAT
The fellowship is designed for emerging managers and leaders navigating our increasingly interdependent and morally activated world. Participants engage with the tools, language, and coaching they need to inspire and scale values-based behavior in an increasingly complex world and workplace.
Drawing on the frameworks in Dov Seidman’s bestselling book How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything, fellows embark on a journey to actively develop and incorporate the four pillars and seven practices of moral leadership. They examine frameworks and wrestle with case studies from history and current events, navigating the imperfect grey decisions leaders are frequently asked to make.
WHO
NXT-GEN Fellows are leaders who have stood out in their organizations for exhibiting values-based behavior and principled decision-making. They have been selected for their potential to become even more effective and inspiring moral leaders, ready to take the next step in their careers.
HOW
The highly interactive curriculum is facilitated through virtual live events and online discussions, readings, and videos, enabling global cohorts which to date have included some 450 fellows from six continents and 32 countries. Fellows put their learnings into action through a practicum project which challenges them to apply moral leadership practices to a current work project. At the end of the 15-week fellowship, fellows join an active community and emerge equipped, connected, and inspired to continue their moral leadership journeys within their organizations and beyond.
