From the wars in Ukraine and Gaza to UN Security Council gridlock and escalating climate and migration crises, multilateral institutions face unprecedented tests. Amid these challenges lies a unique opportunity for a new generation of transformational leaders to emerge—driven by civic duty and the values of the UN Charter.
In this special roundtable discussion hosted by Council President Joel Rosenthal, Tufts University's Professor Abiodun Williams, former director of strategic planning for UN Secretaries-General Kofi Annan and Ban Ki-moon, draws upon his extensive experience to speak about the essential leadership traits and strategies needed to drive institutional change and benefit those they serve. Williams’ latest book, Kofi Annan and Global Leadership at the United Nations, sets out the challenges that the secretary-general managed at a time of great change, and charts his ambitious efforts to reform and adapt the UN to the needs of the 21st century.
