Graduate Leadership Forum

Graduate Leadership Forum focuses on three levels of leadership development.

The first level concerns self-development. Leaders are engrossed in rich, complex environments. When they step out of that environment it is easier to develop and sustain self-awareness. The program will help participants develop strategies to continue their attention to their own learning as they face the daily pressures of their role.

The second level deals with how leaders support their colleagues or team members, using what has been learned from their experience of coaching and applying those skills to the everyday practice of leadership.

The third level focuses on how leaders develop their effectiveness by extending their influence and their ability to join with others to pursue common goals.

The faculty will offer the participants the opportunity to customize this program to their needs. Participants will be asked to propose specific issues they would like covered in advance of the program. The three levels of development will be drawn together and
synthesized by addressing the specific issues brought by those attending the program.

Benefits

Participants will:

• Reinforce the skills of influential leadership they developed in earlier GISC programs.

Participants

This program is designed specifically with graduates of Leadership in the 21st Century and their supporting organizations in mind, as well as graduates of other GISC advanced training programs who support or are interested in highly effective leadership. It will be a unique opportunity for leaders from within a shared organization to deepen the impact of their training within their organization.

“Contemporary challenges call for courageous leadership, and for professionals who assist human development and peak performance. GISC is a development center for those human competencies that serve the world.”

“The time that I have spent at GISC has been profoundly helpful to me in both my professional and personal life. Perhaps the
most beneficial parts have been understanding myself better and, most importantly, how I impact others.”
