Building Resilient Organizations
Through Civil Leadership
presented by Tiana Sanchez
In a capitalistic society driven by rapid growth and short-term gains, HR leaders must rethink how organizations are built—are you playing Jenga or Lego? The Jenga model prioritizes profit at the expense of stability, while the Lego model embraces adaptability, collaboration, and long-term success. Civil Leadership offers a transformative approach, aligning community, social responsibility, and individual creativity to create resilient, people-centric organizations that connect business principles with global sustainability initiatives.
This session will equip HR leaders with strategies to move beyond transactional leadership, foster inclusive and ethical workplaces, and drive lasting impact through civil leadership principles. Learn how to transition from fragile, short-term structures to a strong, interconnected workplace culture that thrives on trust, innovation, and shared purpose. Let’s stop playing Jenga and start building with Lego—because the future of work depends on it.
Key Takeaways:
- Identify the pitfalls of fragile, top-down structures and learn to build resilient, adaptable organizations rooted in ethical governance.
- Understand how community, social responsibility, and individual creativity form the foundation of civil-led leadership and drive long-term organizational success.
