Enhancing Your Leadership
This graduate forum on leadership addresses the question of how leaders can continue to develop and deepen their practice. The program will address three levels of leadership development. The first level concerns self-development. Leaders are engrossed in rich, complex environments. How can they sustain a place in which they continue to pay attention to their own learning? What does it mean to develop a practice of radical self-reflection to help clear the way for leaders to see organizational and corporate issues more clearly? The second level concerns how leaders might support each other – as colleagues, or team members, using what has been learned from coaching and applying it to the everyday practice of leadership. The third level concerns how leaders develop their practice by extending their influence. How do leaders join with others to pursue common goals? This level requires leaders to examine the interplay of leading and following within the contexts of their own specific organizational settings. These levels of development will be drawn together and synthesized through addressing the specific issues brought by those attending the program.
