Curiosity University: Who Makes History? Friday, October 16 1:00 p.m., Community Room Who makes history?

Going all the way back to the ancient Greeks, scholars have debated whether individual people make history, or if world changing events are simply the product of larger social, political, and economic forces. Sometimes, however, unique leaders can come to power who are very different from everyone else who might have gotten the job. These leaders can make choices that no one else would and reshape the fate of companies, and even countries – for better or for worse. Join Michael Harrington as he presents a lecture previously given by Harvard Kennedy School Research Fellow Gautam Mukunda, who is an internationally recognized expert in leadership. He is the author of Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter and Picking Presidents: How to Make the Most Important Decision in the World, along with many articles
