  MI + SPIA Lecture Series -- Resilience -- A Leader Shoulders Organizational and Personal Response After Crisis  
(Greater Washington DC Metro Area)

Good leaders are prepared for disaster. They understand operational order, rapid communications, innovative solutions. They are people, too, and have a personal story to explore as well.

Martha Johnson, author of On My Watch: Leadership, Innovation, and Personal Resilience, is drawn to the exploration of resilience as a result of her own career trajectory. Confirmed unanimously by the US Senate as Obama's Administrator of the General Services Administration, she spent two years in the job and then resigned suddenly in the wake of a breaking scandal about an internal Las Vegas training conference. She had previously served eight years with the Clinton Administration and was appointed to two commissions with the British Government.

With her public service career cut short, she reflected on the issues and challenges of resilience in her book, with particular focus on the positive power of surprise, the sustaining but complex support of networks, and Warren Bennis' concept of crucible moments that serve up valuable lessons for life's next chapters.

Event schedule:
> Light refreshments 6:30 - 7 p.m. Prospective students invited to meet faculty during this time.
> Johnson's discussion 7-8 p.m.
> Q&A 8 - 8:30 p.m.
