About the Session
LEADership in the 21st Century Renaissance
Art and mind together for humanity’s iteration towards the next creative epoch
In a combination of engaging lecture and immersive movement-assisted interactive activities, this session highlights four cornerstones of a 21st century renaissance:
- The Da Vinci Way, in the age of CRISPR, space travel, and artificial intelligence
- Humanism redefined, vis à vis technology, nature, and spirituality
- Better understanding of the mind and consciousness. Embodied, not just embrained
- Beauty re-embraced: from products and customer experience to workplace culture
You will see innovation with a whole new perspective and the world in new possibilities. You will envision a “personal renaissance”, learning to lead with originality, poetry and grit, whole brain and full body, influencing with authenticity, and communicating with flair.
After BeiBei’s provocative talk, professional dancer and fellow rebel Momo Sanno will lead everyone through a series of creative movement exercises to symbolize and embody ideas of Renaissance Leadership. We will end by dancing together to a special Me2We song, dedicated to the LEAD community by BeiBei and her musician colleagues – a fellow GSB alum and a Hollywood singer-songwriter.
All are welcomed: poets and quants, nerds and muses, star performers and polymathic misfits, whole or broken hearts, assured or lost souls, and leaders seeking wisdom, charisma, purpose, meaning, joy, and liberation from corporate cliché. All you need is curiosity and readiness to move all body parts (wear comfortable clothing)! Oh, also pen and paper, and ideally some colored drawing instruments (such as pastels, crayons, or colored pencils. Steal from your children, if needed.).

Through her university years, she contributed and worked with NGOs, such as the International Federation of the Red Cross during the Ebola crisis. After graduation, she received advice to work in business before professionally joining an NGO, to gain as much experience as possible in order to be of strong impact in the humanitarian world.

Reaching Out – Reaching In
Law Enforcement is experiencing a time like no other. COVID, economic instability, police mistrust, protests and civil unrest, insurrections, violence, vaccine clinics; the list seems to just keep growing. Never before has there been such a perfect storm of challenges, that each, on their own would be a trial, but combined…there are no words. And there is still “police work” to be done. California specifically is experiencing high and rising rates of property crime, identity theft and violent crimes. Regardless of the reasons or politics around this, crime is still happening. So what do we do now?
This presentation is delivered in two sections, Reaching Out and Reaching In.
The Reaching Out portion highlights the efforts of the Mountain View Police Department (MVPD) and our community during these times – how we are innovating, partnering with and listening to our community with the goal of understanding, clear communication and dialogue. Through a program dubbed MVPDx, community members work with police staff to challenge perspectives, learn, express frustrations and concerns, talk about and develop action items around difficult topics such as use of force, bias, police misconduct, surveillance and racism. The goal of the program is to provide a safe space for dialogue and conversation, it is NOT a program trying to change minds or for the police to talk “at” the community.
The Reaching In portion of the presentation provides information about the innovative programs MVPD is doing to ensure our employees are taken care, heard, valued and always growing, despite the current environment. Robust wellness programs and a strong leadership philosophy based on Servant Leadership and Leader as Coach methodologies will also be highlighted.

Stanford GSB Professor Ken Shotts
Ken Shotts is the David S. and Ann M. Barlow Professor of Political Economy at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Professor of Political Sciences at Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. Professor Shotts uses game theory to analyze how elections and political institutions influence policy choices made by government officials. He has published papers on electoral accountability, presidential leadership, racial redistricting, term limits, policy entrepreneurship, and the politics of regulatory enforcement. In LEAD, Professor Shotts teaches as part of the faculty team for the foundation course Principled and Purposeful Leadership.
What is the role of business in society? Should companies solely be concerned with maximizing profits for shareholders or do they have responsibilities to other stakeholders? How should a firm think about the relationship between its core business strategy and its corporate social responsibility efforts?
These are perennial questions that companies grapple with, and in the context of emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic they come into especially sharp relief. Governments and NGOs are often unable to move quickly in response to a crisis, so companies are often expected to take action. What companies do, or fail to do, reflects their core values and can powerfully shape how they are seen as being either heroes or villains.
