What does it take to be a leader today?

The Tällberg Foundation explores the issues that are challenging and changing our societies with the goal of stimulating new thinking for a new world.

We also believe that a new kind of leadership is badly needed for our societies to prosper: leadership that is innovative, courageous, dynamic, rooted in universal values and global in implication. In that spirit we have established the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize

This year we award two Prizes to established leaders and two to emerging leaders. Join us on December 8, 10:00 AM EST / 4:00 PM CET, to celebrate the 2021 winners.

Working Across Borders

and Across Disciplines

If we are imaginative enough to make new connections, to see new pathways, or to look at the familiar from different perspectives, then the Tällberg Foundation conversations will have lasting value. And even better if they inspire new action.

Our Initiatives

 

We aim to contribute to the new thinking —and new acting— required by this moment in history.

Tällberg’s work program focuses on understanding how to re-inject ethics into leadership; re-establish the legitimacy of governance; and manage, instead of being managed by, disruptive technologies, climate change, mass migration and other phenomena. We seek new thinking for a new world.

Tällberg Workshops & Conversations

Tällberg conversations aim to provoke “New Thinking” in part by convening people who are deeply knowledgeable as well as people who are deeply curious, all of whom are more concerned with finding new insights than with reinforcing conventional wisdom.

Poem for the Ocean - by Nadia Washington
YouTube Video UCCQzz9Tm9dommxm4nOvFYdg_iR98_nHD7IQ The Poem for the Ocean was recorded on October 19, 2021, at GBH’s Fraser studio in Boston, MA during Tällberg’s Jazz for the Planet. Watch the whole recording at https://tallbergfoundation.org/jazz-for-the-planet/ Tällberg’s Jazz for the Planet showcases new compositions from John Patitucci (bass), Marco Pignataro (sax and musical director), and Joe Lovano (sax) and features, Terri Lyne Carrington (drums), Nadia Washington (vocals), Chico Pinheiro (guitar), and Anastassiya Petrova (piano). The recording aims to inspire positive climate action—building on 40 years of the Tällberg Foundation’s efforts to nurture new thinking in part by looking at societal challenges through the lenses of artists.
Save the Seas - A Tällberg Foundation Webinar with Sylvia Earle and Asha de Vos
YouTube Video UCCQzz9Tm9dommxm4nOvFYdg_AHYG9XfG6l8 Seventy percent of the earth is covered by water. If we want a livable planet, we need livable oceans. But the oceans and the life they support are being affected by rising water temperatures, acidification, retreating arctic sea ice, sea-level rise, flooding, coastal erosion…the list goes on. Can we save the oceans? If failure is not an option—and it should not be—who needs to do what? Sylvia Earle and Asha de Vos have answers. They are both world-class oceanographers, whose research and advocacy has changed how we think about oceans and about how the degradation of the oceans that threatens life on earth can be reversed.

China: On the Road to Perdition? Listen to Kevin Rudd on the New Thinking for a New World Podcast
YouTube Video UCCQzz9Tm9dommxm4nOvFYdg_rQz1pSgrENQ Under President Xi Jinping, China has shown a growing willingness to act outside the accepted geopolitical, economic and even diplomatic global framework and practices. Australian Kevin Rudd has spent a considerable part of his life thinking about, working on, and negotiating with China, as the Labour Party's shadow foreign minister, twice as his country's prime minister, and currently as president of the Asia Society. Arguably no other western leader knows China better. Listen as he assesses where China is today, and where it wants to be tomorrow. https://tallbergfoundation.org/podcasts/china-on-the-road-to-perdition/ Subscribe to the “New Thinking for a New World” podcast on: - https://tallbergfoundation.org/podcasts/ - Appel podcast https://apple.co/3cF7IfX​​​​​​​ - Spotify https://spoti.fi/3jhmI4U​​​​​​​ - Acast https://bit.ly/3rja3kQ​​​​​​​ - Stitcher https://bit.ly/3oO9D4m​​​​​​​ - Google https://bit.ly/3oOVaVR​​
