Sustain What: On a Risky, Interlaced Planet, What Does Leadership Look Like?

Join Sustain What host Andy Revkin in a solution-focused brainstorm on strategies that can best foster progress in today’s complex risk/opportunity landscape.

We’ll get insights from ecosystem resilience via the biologist and disaster-risk consultant Deborah Brosnan.

Colonel Mark Mykleby (USMC, Retired) will offer lessons from the strategic narrative he helped craft a decade ago for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ed Hoffman, now a Columbia University lecturer, will weigh in with lessons gleaned tracking high-pressure decision-making and problem solving as NASA’s first Chief Knowledge Officer.
