Howard Gardner

A visionary and lauded public intellectual, Harvard professor, Howard Gardner has not only revolutionized our understanding of intelligence and creativity, but he has also established himself as one of the world’s foremost authorities on leadership, professional responsibility, and “good work.”

A paradigm shifter, Gardner virtually changed the face of education with his theory of multiple intelligences in his best-selling books that include the seminal Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Applying this understanding of intelligence to leadership, his Five Minds for the Future describes five mindsets necessary for managers and organizations to thrive in a modern and ever-changing world. Though his groundbreaking GoodWork Project at Harvard, he focuses on determining how best to increase the incidence of overall good work in our society.

A curious mind whose own berth of multiple intelligences inspires him to examine many aspects of our lives, Gardner enriches organizations with his thought-provoking presentations. Whether you are a CEO striving to lead during turbulent times, an educator who is dedicated to understanding how all children learn, or a student who strives to do “good work,” though excellence, civic engagement, and ethical actions, Gardner offers enlightening truths about how you can accomplish your goals and benefit the greater good of society at the same time.
