The morning will include a conversation on the challenges ahead for the next president, and what is required to address them. The afternoon program will also feature messages to would-be presidents from Harvard graduate students representing the next generation of leaders. "In studying the effectiveness of organizations for more than 40 years," added Ken Blanchard, leadership consultant and best-selling author, "there is no doubt in my mind that the key ingredient that determines success and human satisfaction is leadership. For that reason, May 12 will also mark the launch of the CPL Leadership Forum through a weblog to augment this discussion and continue highlighting leadership issues, and Harvard Kennedy School-related topics.
