Alumni Presents: When Everyone Leads

Friday, May 9, 2025
9:00 am3:30 pm

Based on Kansas Leadership Center’s new bestselling book, When Everyone Leads makes leadership radically accessible and inclusive, and helps unleash capacity for collective leadership in teams, organizations, coalitions and communities. This program is packed with interactive group discussions and provides ample time for you to reflect on application to the challenges that matter most in your context.

You will explore all 5 sections of the book in which authors Ed O’Malley and Julia Fabris McBride present a revolutionary approach to leadership. Neither position nor authority, it’s an activity open to anyone who can see and seize their moments to lead and engage differently. In a culture where everyone leads, individuals, organizations and communities make more progress.

Full of specific examples of challenges and solutions from nonprofits, school boards, the healthcare industry and the corporate world, When Everyone Leads offers a proven, actionable approach to navigate the world’s most pressing challenges.
