ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Agile equitable leadership has never been more critical. Our four-part Learning Institute, Leading through Precarity, provides that necessary (and often elusive) space to test principles, assess and practice mindsets, and model leadership practices grounded in systems thinking, entrepreneurial and radical growth mindsets, inquiry stance, and racial mindfulness.
The more agile and adaptable, the more the leader mediates the impact of organizational crisis and stress. Leading through precarity creates the conditions for teams to develop the tools and frames to achieve balance between the professional, psychological, and emotional dimensions of their work. We will go deep into interpersonal and intrapersonal practices, processes, and learning approaches for reflexive self and organizational development.
Agility and equity in times of precarity makes for effectively reading and responding in real-time, moving an organization forward and toward a shared vision. and engaging people in ways that elevate everyone and engender a collective sense of responsibility for carrying an organization forward. Participants in this program will:
-
