Leading through Conflict, Complexity, and Change
Global Village on the Move | Istanbul 2026
Where have all the leaders gone?
Legendary industrialist Lee Iacocca’s question is more urgent now than when he first asked it, more than 20 years ago. The complex economic, ecological, and humanitarian crises the world faces today seem intractable, with any progress in one area too often coming at the cost of another. Complex problems, the conflicts they engender, and the change required to overcome them might appear insurmountable, but can be addressed.
Join Bahçeşehir University and the Lee Iacocca Institute for Global Leadership for Leading through Conflict, Complexity, and Change - a four day intensive conference focused on systems leadership, navigating conflict and cultural differences, and creating pathways for effective changemaking. Through workshops, corporate visits, industry speakers, and cultural interactions, participants will leave empowered and equipped to interact with complexity, navigate conflict, and effect meaningful change. This is where the leaders are: join us at Global Village on the Move | Istanbul 2026.

About the Iacocca Institute
In partnership with Lee Iacocca '45 Lehigh University founded the Iacocca Institute in 1988 to help prepare the next generation of leaders to thrive in a global economy, with the belief that successful leadership in the 21st century would require both a deep understanding of different cultures and countries as well as comfort working across boundaries and borders.
As part of Lehigh’s Office of International Affairs, the Iacocca Institute prepares current and future leaders to address complex, multi-system, global challenges.
