Associate Round Table: "Executive Education: “Asked and Answered”
2016-10-26 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
Featured Speaker:
Professor Doug Lichtman
Professor of Law
UCLA School of Law
Financial Statement Analysis, Valuation, and Corporate Development
UCLA Executive Education
Sponsored by Anderson School of Management, Executive Education Department

Summary:
Our guest speaker, Doug Lichtman, Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law, will draw on a variety of literatures and experiences to think through the art of asking and answering questions. Some of the materials will be drawn directly from interactions familiar to the HARRT audience; for example, we will think about questions an interviewer can effectively use to elicit useful information from an interviewee. Other materials will invite participants to think about the world from an unfamiliar perspective, however; for example, we will think about the questions a lawyer asks potential jurors in order to quickly ferret out harmful biases. The presentation will involve a mix of faculty lecture, group conversation, and small-group simulations.
*We are also very excited to announce that HARRT has been approved as a Recertification Provider by SHRM, so you can now earn Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for your SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP by attending all our Round Tables.

DECEMBER 2017 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The equity bull market on Wall Street continues to roll along. Will stocks continue to rise in 2018, or is a major correction looming? Bond yields have been trading at historically low levels for nearly a decade. Will the era of low bond yields continue, or will interest rates normalize, sending 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields to well above 3%? With wholesale changes in the Federal Reserve Board coming in 2018, will the Fed continue on its moderate pace toward interest rate normalization or will the markets be surprised?

Hosted by UCLA Executive Education
Join us for an invitation-only event featuring three exciting topics presented by UCLA faculty Bob McCann and Janna Shadduck-Hernandez and attorney Kathleen Erskine of Cohen Williams LLP. Professor McCann will discuss the impact that effective communication can have on your organization and the implications for your personal leadership. Develop the knowledge, perspective, and skills needed to lead your team and produce tangible results. Understand and practice cross-cultural communications. We will learn how to create a framework for leading a multicultural team to high performance.

Professor Shadduck-Hernandez will present research findings from The Institute for Research on Labor and Employment on challenges of today’s 18 -29 years old Earners and Learners. These young workers are often working to support family members rather than have additional personal money for discretionary activities, as has been the practice in the past. Also, it is more difficult to find employment that will allow this generation to work and attend school. We will explore the issues these workers face, and discuss what employers can do to engage these workers today while developing the workforce of the future.

Ms. Erskine will discuss substance abuse and addiction in the workplace and the essential legal concepts surrounding an employee’s rights and employer’s obligations. She will provide an overview of how drug and alcohol abuse is treated under today’s laws, including the limitations placed on employees with substance use issues by the disability laws, which are generally protective of employees with physical and mental disabilities. Additionally, she will explain the basic legal framework related to drug testing, the impact of workplace drug policies and provide real-world employer examples including options in specific circumstances.

The day will involve a mix of faculty lecture, group conversation, and small-group simulations – lunch is provided.

Dean's Series - FULL-SPECTRUM THINKING IN A POST-OUTBREAK WORLD ~ Dr. Bob Johansen
2021-02-12 11:30 - 13:00
Dr. Bob Johansen, a distinguished fellow with the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley and friend of HARRT, has been doing ten-year forecasting for more than thirty years, with remarkable accuracy. In this talk, he will share his latest forecasts for the post-outbreak world, with a focus on opportunities and threats for the human resources function. Full-spectrum thinking is the ability to seek clarity across gradients of possibility–while resisting the temptations of certainty and simplistic labeling. Bob will discuss how leaders can think in full-spectrum ways, particularly across the spectrum of human/computer potential. Digital augmentation of humans will be mandatory to thrive in the future and Bob will provide his latest thinking about how leaders of the future can thrive in an increasingly digital world.
*As a follow-on to this discussion, Bob will facilitate a BOOK CLUB exclusively for HARRT Senior Executive Members on February 16 & 26. As part of membership, each participating HARRT Executive member will receive a complimentary digital copy of Bob’s new book: Full-Spectrum Thinking: How to Escape Boxes in a Post-Categorical Future

Dean's Series - LEADERS of the FUTURE: Unleashing the Power of Psychological Safety ~ Dr. Amy Edmondson
2021-03-19 11:45 - 12:45 | virtual
The past year has resulted in major disruptions to corporate strategies and operations as a result of the global pandemic, digital transformation, economic uncertainty, and social discourse. As corporate leaders rethink how their organizations will perform in the future, there is a renewed emphasis on creating an inclusive organization to encourage the development of creative, innovative, and productive teams.

For many years, Amy C. Edmondson, Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School and author of the book “The Fearless Organization” and Martijn Sjoorda, Co-Founder, The Fearless Organization, have studied how creating psychological safety is the key ingredient to develop high-performing, humane, and resilient leaders for the future.
Please join UCLA’s Professor Corinne Bendersky as she interviews our speakers and they discuss how to build competitive and innovative organizations in the future by:

Exploring the link between psychological safety and high performance
Creating a speak-up culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes
Nurturing the level of engagement and candor required to succeed in today’s new economy

Each attendee will receive access to a survey to gauge your personal level of psychological safety in your organization.

Week 1 - Fearless Book Club Lunchtime Series For People Leaders - How to create a psychologically safe workplace
2021-03-23 12:00 - 13:00 | virtual
When employees don’t have the freedom to speak up, it can erode your employee engagement. That’s one reason why cultivating psychological safety is so important.
Inspired by the Fearless Organization by Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School, this fully on-line 4-week FEARLESS book club series is designed for leaders in Human Resources, Organization Development, Learning & Development, and Talent Management as well as organizational leaders who are people-centric and committed to creating a workplace where employees can bring their full selves to work every day.

HARRT at UCLA: LIGHTS + CAMERA + ACTION - Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
2021-06-22 11:45 - 13:00 | virtual
Please join HARRT’s Faculty Director, Professor Corinne Bendersky in a conversation with Darnell Hunt, Ph.D., Dean, UCLA Division of Social Sciences, Professor of Sociology and African American Studies, Paul Martin, Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Christine Simmons, Chief Operating Officer of The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences (The Oscars) on lessons learned in the entertainment industry when driving change in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In the past year, many businesses have advanced DE&I initiatives for multiple stakeholders including employees, customers, shareholders, and constituents. Organizations with a clear strategy, well-defined focus, results-driven leadership, and defined measurements have successfully moved from awareness – to commitment – to action. There is no single formula for improving diversity and inclusion that applies to every company or industry. By collaborating on action-based initiatives that have been successful and in some cases unsuccessful, organizations can learn and apply new approaches to building an inclusive DE&I culture.
This session spotlights the importance of collaborative decision-making, data analytics, as well as, bold and accountable leadership when developing and prioritizing strategic DE&I programs.
• Dean Hunt will share insights and lessons learned from the Hollywood Diversity Report that examines the relationship between diversity and the bottom line in Hollywood and the degree to which women and people of color are present in front of the camera and behind the camera.
• Paul Martin will share insights about the multi-pronged racial equity and inclusion program launched in 2020 called Sony Pictures Action which includes an Action Council comprised of executives from across the company, the Diverse Directors Program that provides participants from diverse backgrounds to access and exposure to TV directing, as well as, lessons learned from Sony’s employee business resource groups that promote a culture of understanding, acceptance and, inclusion.
• Christine Simmons will share the next phase of the Oscars equity and inclusion program called Academy Aperture 2025 and lessons learned from the Academy Gold Internship Program which is a global talent development and inclusion initiative that provides opportunities for creative individuals and students from diverse backgrounds to participate in the entertainment industry.

HARRT at UCLA ~ Annual DEI Event - The L.A. STORY: Aligning Cultural Change & DEI

Please join HARRT’s Faculty Director, Professor Corinne Bendersky in a conversation with Malaika Billups, Chief Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Officer, The City of Los Angeles, and Ruby Flores, Commander and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as they discuss the DEI-driven culture in Los Angeles, the 3rd largest city in the world. Our speakers will share the complexity of operating in the public sector with multiple government regulations while driving culture change and developing comprehensive diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies. The city’s DEI leaders must consider multiple stakeholders including 50,00 employees, approximately 4,000,000 residents, more than 250,000 businesses, and over 50,000,000 visitors annually.
This session focuses on L.A.’s evolving journey to align the city’s forty-five very different departments and bureaus such as airports, police, fire, transportation, and public works to name a few. Our speakers will provide insights on the importance of planning, collaboration, and accountability in a decentralized organizational structure, the critical role of internal and external communications to gain consensus, the imperative of creating strategic department alignment to build a universal DEI-driven culture, and the challenges of implementing change management initiatives to overcome implementation barriers.
