Description:

Leadership is a team sport. Rather than depending on a strong, vocal, and charismatic person who exercises control over others, successful work is accomplished with other people through clarity of vision and outcomes, clear communication, agility with inevitable conflict, and facility with creating a culture based on trust, shared values, and dedication to an overarching purpose. The ability to adapt to change, and the willingness and skill to work through difficult moments with others, are critical leadership and life skills. The Leadership by Design course focuses on how people and organizations are influenced and motivated to change. It provides practice in becoming more personally open to change, as well as developing high-functioning teams. It offers the opportunity to reflect on and refine your own leadership style. It provides the opportunity to practice leading and learning to consciously create a culture that provides the foundation for a sustainable, successful, and fulfilling work environment.
