    The Bush Institute’s Liberty and Leadership Forum equips young leaders with the knowledge and skills to lead in countries transitioning to democracy. Its curriculum focuses on the principles of liberal democracy and economic freedom, lessons from other democratic transitions and practical leadership skills.

    The 2014 Liberty and Leadership Forum inaugural class and the 2015 class was from Burma (also known as Myanmar). While on a path toward democracy, Burma’s destination is not yet guaranteed. One key to success is ensuring that today’s young democracy advocates in Burma are prepared to be tomorrow’s political and civil society leaders. As faculty, I provided them with leadership education and tools to succeed.

  • Managers Under Pressure (white paper)

    Through our work with some of the world’s top companies, we’ve seen a clear trend emerge. Managers are more important than ever in helping organizations navigate key issues like remote work and layoffs and resignations. But, at the same time, they are more likely to suffer from burnout than either higher-level leaders or individual contributors are. In other words, the very people your company likely needs most right now are at high risk of disengaging or even leaving.

    Through our work with some of the world’s top companies, we’ve seen a clear trend emerge. Managers are more important than ever in helping organizations navigate key issues like remote work and layoffs and resignations. But, at the same time, they are more likely to suffer from burnout than either higher-level leaders or individual contributors are. In other words, the very people your company likely needs most right now are at high risk of disengaging or even leaving.

    That’s why we created this special report. After reading Managers Under Pressure, you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of today’s unprecedented challenges, how those challenges affect your organization’s managers and how to help your managers become more resilient, effective and engaged.
