Session Description

What is leadership really? Is it simply about power over people and getting results? And what about management? Isn’t that just telling people what to do and holding them accountable to it? In this fundamental training, participants will explore these questions by defining leadership and management, understanding where they fit in, and deciding who they want to be in both contexts -- for the purpose of developing themselves, their teams, and their organization.

• Examine the degree to which your current leadership and management practices support the organization’s mission and desired culture
• Discuss what the organization wants leaders and managers to be and do in order to grow into current roles and meet new organizational demands
• Establish a shared understanding about what principles and practices leaders and managers want to be held accountable to
• Understand the positive effects of distributed, participatory leadership to identify ways traditional leaders can improve their approach
• Apply trauma-informed, DEI-focused practices to leading and managing people and tasks

• Individual Reflection
• Lecture
• Small-Group Exercises
• Small- & Large-Group Discussion
