Leadership in an Era of Globalization

The self - described "Kilimanjaro" class met for its third seminar, Leadership in an Era of Globalization, moderated by Aspen Senior moderators Keith Berwick, Skip Battle, and Peter Reiling. This seminar aims to develop a deep appreciation for the depth of globalization and to prompt a dialogue on its impact on South Africa, both positive and negative. The Kilimanjaro Class is comprised of eleven men and eight womjavascript:void(0);en of great accomplishment in their own fields. The Fellows presented their leadership projects, which include: a project to support hildren orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS; another connecting artisans, business, and fashions for income generation; an African news service to give Africans an opportunity to help influence news about the continent in the outside world; building an African center for dialogue and reflection; and working on increasing property ownership as a means to greater financial security. Fellows also produced and presented a version of Wole Soyinke's "Death and the King's Horseman" adapted to a globalization theme. The Kilimanjaro class was made possible through the generous support of the Global Markets Institute of Goldman Sachs and Barloworld, Inc.
