An active bystander is someone who not only witnesses a situation, but takes steps to speak up or step in to keep a situation from escalating or to disrupt a problematic situation.
Register here. Register by Wednesday, Sept. 18. Seats are limited.
Abstract
What does it mean to be an active bystander? Why is it relevant to you? Why is it important to your organization? These questions will be answered in a conversation with Dr. Anand from Illinois Tech’s Stuart School of Business. We will explore the barriers to being an active bystander, and discuss how to overcome them. These topics will be considered through a few real-world scenarios.
