Often we get promoted to management and directorship positions without a lot of training or support for different aspects of the role. This course is for new and experienced Executive Directors and Senior Managers who wish to be grounded in foundations of what it means to be a good leader. Drawing from the realms of neuroscience, psychology and organizational development, we’ll be exploring the heart of what it means to work effectively with others in this leadership role:
• Who you are in the management role: what strengths and blindspots do you have?
• What does authentic and clear communication look like in practice?
• How can you empower others to take on more leadership and responsibility for the work?
• How do you build a cohesive team across differences?
• How do you effectively address conflict in a way that strengthens relationships?
• How can you build support (and maintain balance!) for yourself when you have responsibility for others?
