Leadership & Resiliency

Catalog description

In the adaptive leadership framework, leadership is a particular type of work focused on the people and relationships. To make progress on our most difficult workplace challenges, we collaborate with colleagues who often have different communication styles, processes, agendas and belief systems on which they operate. To make progress can require us to deconstruct the pain which may be caused by others in the workplace and lay the past to rest which requires resiliency. We will explore how resiliency can be developed and maintained through empathy and self-awareness in order to show up better in spaces and make progress on meaningful challenges that require us to collaborate across the organization, especially in times of crisis, hardship and uncertainty. This course, through exploration of resiliency, empathy, relationships, self-awareness and acknowledgement of unique differences, we seek to understand ourselves and others better to show up more productively and generatively in current roles.
