8:00 | Breakfast & Networking
8:30–10:00 | Talk + Q&A with Farayi Chipungu
Moderation: Eithne Knappitsch + Verena Kugi
In a time defined by complexity, uncertainty, and constant change, effective leadership is more critical than ever. How can leaders today mobilize people and drive change when the challenges they face have no easy answers?
Join us for an exclusive Business Breakfast with Harvard Professor Farayi Chipungu, who brings powerful insights from the classroom, the boardroom, and the field. Drawing on her work at Harvard Law School and the Kennedy School, as well as her years at McKinsey, Farayi will introduce the core principles of adaptive leadership, a practical framework for leading through uncertainty and complexity.
This Business Breakfast Farayi explores:
The difference between technical and adaptive challenges
Why leadership is not the same as authority
How to build leadership capacity in yourself and others
How to navigate systems—and people—when stakes are high
Whether you’re an executive, entrepreneur, educator, or changemaker, you’ll walk away with actionable insights to lead with courage, clarity, and adaptability.
This event is a collaboration between TEDxKlagenfurt, the Harvard Club of Austria, and the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.
