SUMMARY:Trial by Fire - A Case Study on Leadership and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Ray Jefferson lost his hand to a grenade during military service with the U.S. special operations forces. Later in his career\, while working for President Barack Obama\, he was forced to quit public service because of false claims of ethical violations\, which were amplified in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Ray spent 8 years and his entire life savings to clear his name and received a full exoneration by the U.S. government and a de facto letter of apology. He then chose to return to public service via an appointment by President Joe Biden.  \nThe HBS case on Ray’s story focuses on how do we\, as leaders\, remain resilient to overcome overwhelming adversity? It is currently being taught at HBS\, Harvard Kennedy School of Government\, Harvard Divinity School\, and Wharton Business School. Come join Ray and your fellow alumni in a closed-door session where he will share the story that’s the basis for the case followed by a Q&A session afterwards. We believe this will be a very special evening\, one that will leave us feeling inspired\, connected as a community\, and better prepared to deal with our own journeys of resilience. \nThe Chatham House Rule will apply to the event.  Due to the nature of the event and the discounts we have negotiated for the HBS case material\, this event will be exclusive to Harvard alumni.  We apologise in advance that we will not accept applications from non-Harvard alumni.  Any substitution you send due to last minute scheduling conflicts must be a Harvard alumni.  In addition\, dues-paying members will have priority in the event of oversubscription. \nIf you are not yet a dues-paying alumni\, sign up for membership here.   \n\nAbout Ray Jefferson \nRay is the President of Jefferson Group\, a Singapore-based global consultancy with a focus on the C-suite that provides customized leadership\, team\, and talent development services. He also has the privilege of receiving an appointment by U.S. President Joe Biden to serves as a member of the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships\, the United States’ premier program for leadership and public service.  \nHe is a graduate of West Point\, Harvard Business School (MBA)\, Harvard Kennedy School (MPA) ad previously served as a White House Fellow\, a Fulbright Fellow (Singapore)\, and is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations.   \nPreviously in his career\, he served as a U.S. Army officer with three elite military units; the State of Hawaii’s Deputy Director for the Department of Business\, Economic Development and Tourism; a leadership consultant with McKinsey & Company (Singapore); and the Senate-confirmed U.S. Assistant Secretary for Veteran’s Employment and Training under President Barack Obama.

He was a History Professor at the University of Malaya (1963–68) and the Australian National University (1968–86)\, the Vice-Chancellor at the University of Hong Kong (1986–95)\, and Chairman of International Advisory Council in Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman.\nProfessor Wang is a Professor Emeritus at the Australian National University\, and University Professor of the National University of Singapore (NUS)\, the highest academic title conferred by NUS.\nHe studied history in the University of Malaya\, where he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees\, and holds a PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies\, University of London.\nHe was bestowed the title of Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1988\, awarded the 2020 Tang Prize in Sinology in 2020 and HCS Fellow in 2021\, granted the Distinguished Service Order in Singapore in 2021 and conferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters by NUS in 2022.

Together with Kuo\, arguably Singapore’s most significant cultural figure\, Mr Sasitharan co-founded the Intercultural Theatre Institute (ITI)\, then called TTRP – the Theatre Training and Research Programme in 2000. With Kuo’s untimely death in 2002\, Mr Sasitharan took up the reins of the fledging institution and forged the development of a conservatory unique in the world of theatre training of actors because of its curriculum and pedagogy. ITI’s unique acting programme is characterised by its performer-centred\, practice-oriented training that emphasises intercultural work and original creation. It immerses students in classical theatre forms from Asia – such as Beijing Opera\, Kutiyattam\, Noh Theatre and Wayang Wong – and juxtaposes these intense interactions with Stanislavskian and post-Stanislavskian actor training techniques.\nMr Sasitharan is a recipient of the Cultural Medallion\, Singapore’s highest honour for artists\, in 2012 and a HCS Fellow Awardee in 2022. He is regarded by his peers and the larger arts community in Singapore as a teacher and thought leader\, who always stood for the independent and critical-minded artist\, eloquently speaking truth to power.\nHe holds a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the National University of Singapore (NUS). More details of his bio is available here.
