Leadership for the 21st Century: Chaos, Conflict and Courage

Leadership for the 21st Century: Chaos, Conflict and Courage is a provocative program that introduces a set of conceptual frameworks and a unique teaching method designed to challenge your fundamental assumptions about how you can courageously and effectively exercise leadership and authority during difficult times. The five-day program requires participants to be actively engaged on several levels - in the classroom, in small groups, and in individual reflection. You will discuss issues like creating and claiming value, understanding the relationship between leadership and authority, exercising influence, and managing the individual and institutional dynamics of change. We will explore a wide range of leadership strategies and practice new ways of exercising leadership, whether in a position of authority or just one member of a group. We will confront the dangers and risks associated with exercising leadership – the chaos and conflict – and explore how. For more information, click here.

Leadership Training For High Potentials

Leadership is about change: being able to make things happen with, and through, other people.  Yet the world within which leaders operate is complex, dynamic, and unpredictable.  To be effective as a leader, one needs to understand that world (i.e., how things work within one’s organization and one’s industry) but also willing and able to challenge the status quo.  One needs to be able to articulate a compelling vision, but also to get that vision implemented.  One needs to be highly competent as an individual contributor, yet also highly effective in motivating and inspiring others.  In addition, leaders need to find the right balance between traditional top-down approaches to leading and collaborative/distributed approaches, and to work within a context that is less and less about control and formal authority and more and more about trust and informal influence. For more information, click here.

Power and Politics: Developing Conflict Management Skills

Politics is not a dirty word!  We just have to learn how to play productive politics.  By the same logic, power by itself does not necessarily corrupt though absolute power may corrupt absolutely. The reality of the modern organization requires its members to cultivate conscious power and participate in productive politics to ensure effective management of conflict to benefit the individual, the team and the organization. Organizations suffer not due to the presence of politics, but the absence of political skills to effectively manage those politics.  The goal of this program is to provide participants with the tools to understand and master this imperative, yet elusive, skill.
