Physician, author and systems transformation practitioner
Dr Monica Sharma is a physician and epidemiologist by training and the author of Radical Transformational Leadership. She worked with the United Nations from 1988 to 2010, including as Director of Leadership and Capacity Development, and designed and led programmes on leadership and whole-system change in countries across Africa, Asia, the Arab States, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America.
Her work has included large-scale efforts on HIV and AIDS, maternal mortality and other development challenges. Across these settings, she has worked with governments, civil society, business, universities and communities to examine how practical results, institutional systems and human values can change together.
From this work, she developed the Conscious Full-Spectrum Response, an approach that connects individual agency with changes in systems and social norms. Her book and current programmes continue this work through Radical Transformational Leadership.
Monica convened Fulfilling Jobs for Peace. Her interest in the initiative comes from a question she has worked with for many years: how people can act from their own values and capacities while changing the systems around them.
