Crisis leadership 25 years after 9/11
Presented by The Studio jointly with the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative
Marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the Harvard Chan Studio hosted a forward-looking conversation on what it means to lead in an era of cascading crises and persistent leadership vacuums. Building on the origins and evolution of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI) at Harvard University in the aftermath of 9/11, a panel of experts explored how NPLI’s research and curriculum—anchored in the Meta-Leadership framework—equipped leaders to navigate complexity, rebuild trust, and drive collective action. Drawing on decades of active field investigation, teaching, and engagement with crisis leaders, this event spotlighted how Meta-Leadership is being applied today.
