When a leader’s responsibilities expand to overseeing organizational functions and other managers, the range of competencies needed to succeed expands as well.

Given the complexity and pace of today’s organizations, the experienced

leader must have a strong sense of self, personal insight and relational facility in addition to the technical competencies of management.

This program focuses on both the inner and outer work of leadership. Using feedback from The Leadership Circle Manager Edition, you will have the opportunity to explore your personal leadership competencies working in a small group of your peers, and then utilize this understanding to develop influence and manage change within your organization.

The program, grounded in GISC’s leadership approach, presents research and theory of an evidence-based model with an emphasis on practice, reflection, and feedback. Through experiential activities, skill-building exercises, and simulated practice, you will explore the significant differences between doing and leading, and build on the key communication skills needed to influence others at all levels of the organizational system. You will learn the powerful concept of polarities thinking and its many applications – from developing others, to blending goal-directed with relational behaviors, as well as balancing functional and divisional needs with organizational needs.
