On
October 16, fifty-six young adults chosen for their demonstrated leadership
potential gathered at the Fairmont Copley Plaza for “New Leaders
for a New Century: A Luncheon Celebrating Emerging Leaders of Greater
Boston.” It was sponsored by the Center for Collaborative Leadership
of the College of Management and the State Street Corporation.
In January, those selected to become fellows in the Emerging Leaders Project will participate in a week-long seminar and then meet monthly to consider leadership topics and participate in faculty-coached teams analyzing Boston-area issues.
“I was thrilled with the turnout, the diversity of the group of ‘emerging leaders,’ and the enthusiasm of the nominators who took time to identify and bring with them these fabulous emerging leaders,” said Sherry Penney, center director.
Paul Guzzi, president and CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, offered greetings. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino followed, with remarks stressing the importance of nurturing the next generation of leaders. Ronald A. Heifetz, co-director of the Center of Public Leadership at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, then delivered the principal address: “Leadership in a Time of Crisis.”
Chosen from the ranks of corporations, non-profit, and governmental organizations, the leaders were selected by senior figures in Boston leadership, including retired State Street CEO Marsh Carter, Sovereign Bank CEO John Hamill, Boston Globe publisher Richard Gilman, WCVB TV President and General Manager Paul LaCamera, and the Reverend Ray Hammond.
The project is an “excellent opportunity to learn about effective leadership and give back to the community. At the same time, it’s a chance to work with interesting, creative, energetic people,” said Andrew Nelson of Lehman Brothers, nominated by Massachusetts Software and Internet Council President Joyce Plotkin.
