Slovenia's IEDC confers honorary doctorate to Prof. Nancy J. Adler

The Faculty for Postgraduate Studies at IEDC (Slovenia) has conferred academic title of Doctor Honoris Causa to Prof. Nancy J. Adler, a guru in organizational culture and one of the leading authorities in global leadership and cross-cultural management for her outstanding contribution to the global leadership development.

Prof. Nancy Adler held a key-note speech at the graduation ceremony titled "Leading Beautifully: The Creative Economy and Beyond". According to her opinion, leaders need to be also artists because of the challenges that their facing today. As she stated: "There is no way that we'll have the type of society or the type of planet that we want in the 21st century if we continue using old 20th century solutions. The only way we can get different solutions is if we create and use different approaches. The questions is not anymore can we take the right decisions but can we create options worthy of choosing, not can we make a decision among the options that are already on the table. In order to create worthy options leaders have to be also creators and create worthy options."
