The world we live in is more complex than ever, and so are the people we work with. Do the time-honored principles of leadership still apply to navigating a mash-up of markets, cultures, and conflicts? How do you turn your company, organization or institution into a powerhouse, or turn it around when it's struggling? Expertise, even brilliance, may not be enough. A strategic bent and a knack for big-picture thinking can be crucial, but communication skills and savvy team-building may be even more valuable. As the ground shifts, the nimble -- those willing to admit mistakes, learn from them and change course -- can earn their stripes. Character counts too. People are willing to follow those who inspire trust and lead by example. Our own powerhouse panel will discuss what they've learned at the helm along with the successes, and failures, that got them there.
