The Art and Danger of Adaptive Leadership Course

Lead­ing effec­tive­ly and inclu­sive­ly in today’s increas­ing­ly polar­ized world requires both head and heart. Build­ing your team’s — and your — abil­i­ty to adapt to unfore­seen real­i­ties also requires you to hold steady dur­ing peri­ods of intense change. This course uses an adap­tive lead­er­ship frame­work to strength­en your abil­i­ty to tack­le com­plex prob­lems in your pro­fes­sion­al and per­son­al worlds. Adap­tive lead­er­ship is a crit­i­cal tool and skill set for those look­ing to dri­ve sys­temic change while being account­able to their own val­ues and goals.

Par­tic­i­pants will engage in pub­lic learn­ing to test the adap­tive diag­nos­tic process togeth­er. Pub­lic learn­ing is a col­lab­o­ra­tive process where we use the class itself as a case study, pay­ing atten­tion to how author­i­ty and lead­er­ship are alive in the class­room, and using class­room engage­ment itself as a test­ing ground for these new lead­er­ship approaches.
