Fragmentation to Integration: Rethinking Leadership for a New Economic Era

The Insights for Action seminar series explores how researchers and practitioners within and beyond Oxford are using research insights to drive social change.

In this month’s seminar, being co-hosted as a part of the Said Business School’s Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series, we will discuss the concept of meta-economics—integrating economics with ethics, the social sciences, and the natural sciences —and how social and emotional intelligence can help leaders shift towards this more integrated, holistic world view.

Moderator Professor Marya Besharov will be joined by Jonathan F. P. Rose, President of Jonathan Rose Companies and a leader in sustainable urban development, and Dr. Daniel Goleman, renowned author and expert on emotional intelligence and systems thinking.

Jonathan Rose’s business, public policy, teaching, research, writing and not-for-profit work largely focuses on creating more environmentally, socially and economically resilient cities. Based in New York, Jonathan is the President of Jonathan Rose Companies, LLC and leads the firm’s vision, program and growth by developing award-winning new projects, investment funds and city plans to model solutions which integrate the issues of affordable housing, community development, culture and the environment. Jonathan is a board member of Enterprise Community Partners. Moreover, he and his wife, Diana Rose, are the co-founders of the Garrison Institute, and he serves as Chair on its Board and leads its Meta Economics and Pathway to Planetary Health programs. Jonathan is an Executive-in-Residence at Saïd Business School.
