General Roméo Dallaire on Command, Humanity, and Resilience

Throughout his distinguished military career, General Roméo Dallaire navigated unimaginable complexity — most notably leading the UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda. His courage during that mission, combined with his outspoken advocacy for human rights and mental health, has earned him international respect.

A passionate and moving speaker, General Dallaire translates the experience of commanding under extreme pressures into strategies for today’s executives. He challenges the status quo, teaching audiences how to make human-centered decisions and lead with clarity when the path forward is uncertain.

With June marking his birthday month, General Dallaire’s reflections on command, humanity, and resilience carry a profound new weight. (Want to send your well wishes to General Dallaire? Here’s a link set up by his Foundation.)
