Show notes

This week we read the parsha of Re'eh, where Rabbi Sacks will discuss how Jewish law (Halakhah)sets clear guidelines for mourners, allowing us to honour both the dead and the living, sustaining the delicate balance between grief and consolation, the loss of life that gives us pain, and the re-affirmation of life that gives us hope.

Lessons in Leadership - Responses for the Harvard Business School's Executive Education Programme Aug 11, 2017

Show notes

Rabbi Sacks was recently asked some questions on the subject of leadership by a student on the Executive Education Programme at the Harvard Business School. The questions focussed on his own leadership journey and the lessons he has learnt along the way. The video, originally intended just to help the student with her assignment, ended up being shown to her entire course (with our permission!). So we thought we would share the audio of it with you here. In this recording, Rabbi Sacks offers answers to the following questions: - What was the defining moment in your leadership journey? - What are your values, principles and boundaries? - How did you discover your strengths and passions? - How do you build an integrated life? - How do you build a team? - What difference have you sought to make in the world? - What have you learnt about leadership?
