MLT

Day 1 of MLT20 National Conference brought together our community of leaders and changemakers for a powerful start to a reunion centered on growth, leadership, and the future of work 🌀 Across plenaries and breakout sessions, attendees explored what it means to lead through complexity, embrace innovation thoughtfully, and to create positive impact that scales beyond any one individual. Conversations throughout the day challenged us to think more deeply about leadership in times of uncertainty and rapid change — especially as AI continues reshaping industries and organizations. 💫 Some highlights from the day that resonate with us: "I think about all the business innovations that have helped people, helped society, over the past few decades. So it's not like we're asking business to do something they haven't done before." - Kedra Newsom Reeves, Managing Director and Partner at BCG, The Employer Imperative: Expanding Prosperity While Driving Performance “How do you create systems and the leaders to solve problems as opposed to trying to solve every problem yourself” — Angelo Adams, President of Zipcar during Making the Enterprise Leadership Leap “The single most important thing a leader can do is to cultivate creativity in their people.” — Camiel Irving, CEO of East Abeni Holdings, during Leading Through AI-Driven Change: How to Maintain Trust, Engagement, and Performance “It’s just as important to know where *not* to use AI as it is to know where to use AI.” — Otto Burston, GM Product Management of Delta Air Lines during Building AI Into Your Product Strategy More than anything, Day 1 reinforced the power of community: being in rooms filled with leaders who are willing to ask hard questions, share honest perspectives, and build toward a more equitable future together 💙 We’re just getting started. 📸 If you joined us in NYC, share your favorite moments and tag us — we’d love to see your perspective from Day 1! #MLT20NationalConference #MLT20 #MLTLeaders #Leadership #AI #LeadTheWay
