Leading through Covid-19: A Meta-leadership Analysis

The criticality of rapid, deep learning. The need for empathic leadership. The benefits of treating preparedness as investment rather than a cost.

A crisis leadership training and research program

The NPLI at Harvard prepares leaders in the public, private, and non-profit sectors to handle crisis and significant change. Participants in our programs are leaders responsible for safety and security, business continuity, and disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.

The NPLI Leadership Difference ⇒

The foundation of our teaching is the Meta-Leadership framework and practice method. It combines conceptual rigor with pragmatic insights developed through faculty field research on events including: Hurricane Katrina; Boston Marathon bombings; infectious disease outbreaks, and more. Meta-leadership integrates applied neuroscience, game theory, psychology, group dynamics, and more into practical tools and techniques to improve leader effectiveness.

Dr. Leonard J. Marcus, Dr. Barry Dorn, Joseph Henderson, and Eric J. McNulty are among the NPLI faculty who have been at the forefront of developing the Meta-Leadership framework and practice method.
