The Wilber Symposium will be presented by professor Dan Ebener, DBA, "Business and Non-violence."
Dan R. Ebener, DBA, has been practicing leadership and developing leaders for churches, businesses and communities since 1976.
He is owner of Quad City Leadership Consulting, Inc., and has provided consulting services to more than 300 organizations with leadership training and strategic planning.
Ebener teaches leadership for the Master of Organizational Leadership program at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, including courses in leadership theory, adaptive leadership, dialogical skills, conflict resolution, strategic planning, servant leadership, team-building and leadership through people skills.
He is author of five books on leadership, including being co-author of "Leadership for the Greater Good," published in March 2021. His degrees include a doctorate in business administration and masters' degrees in social work, education and business.
The lecture will illustrate the nonviolent principles of Jesus, Martin Luther King and Mohandas Gandhi, and raise the questions: How do they fit in business? Is it realistic to lead and manage with values of peace, justice and Gandhian truth? Can a business be effective when practicing such values? Are these principles out of touch with today's business climate?
After presenting his views, Ebener will engage the audience in a dialogue about these questions.
