Inclusive Leadership: Part 3 - Virtual
Thursday, March 28, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
What do we need to know about ourselves in order to interact thoughtfully, sensitively, and effectively as leaders? Our various and intersecting social identities based on race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, class, religion, age, nationality, and disability, shape our cultural orientations, perspectives, and behaviors. Thus, awareness of these social identities and the ways they have shaped our socialization experiences as well as our position within the social, historical, and political landscape in relation to systems of inequality, is crucial to becoming an effective leader. In this 3 part series participants will have the opportunity to closely examine their own lived experiences within the context of a researched inclusive leadership model. Participants will explore the characteristics necessary to be an effective leader of diverse teams while engaging concepts of power and privilege applied through a personal lens. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Resolving Workplace Conflict - Virtual
Wednesday, March 13, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Today’s complex business dynamics and fierce global competition force organizations to continually ramp up productivity, improve quality, shorten cycle times, and reduce costs. An unfortunate, but natural, by-product is workplace conflict. Such pressures inevitably cause people with different personalities, communication styles, priorities, and values to have differences at one time or another. One of the course’s key messages is that leaders must help employees accept accountability for owning and resolving their workplace conflicts. Leaders learn to do this by leveraging two intervention tactics: coaching and if the conflict remains unresolved, mediating. It’s also important that leaders are able to recognize the warning signs of conflict so that they can take the appropriate action. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

What do we need to know about ourselves in order to interact thoughtfully, sensitively, and effectively as leaders? Our various and intersecting social identities based on race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, class, religion, age, nationality, and disability, shape our cultural orientations, perspectives, and behaviors. Thus, awareness of these social identities and the ways they have shaped our socialization experiences as well as our position within the social, historical, and political landscape in relation to systems of inequality, is crucial to becoming an effective leader.In this 3 part series participants will have the opportunity to closely examine their own lived experiences within the context of a researched inclusive leadership model. Participants will explore the characteristics necessary to be an effective leader of diverse teams while engaging concepts of power and privilege applied through a personal lens. The relationships between participants’ own social identities, privileges and disadvantages, and how these experiences ultimately contribute to their own leadership traits will be the focus of the dialogue throughout the program. This series is meant to support leaders in building confidence, skills, and appreciation for interacting across differences broadly. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Resolving Workplace Conflict - Virtual
Tuesday, July 11, 2023 | 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Today’s complex business dynamics and fierce global competition force organizations to continually ramp up productivity, improve quality, shorten cycle times, and reduce costs. An unfortunate, but natural, by-product is workplace conflict. Such pressures inevitably cause people with different personalities, communication styles, priorities, and values to have differences at one time or another. One of the course’s key messages is that leaders must help employees accept accountability for owning and resolving their workplace conflicts. Leaders learn to do this by leveraging two intervention tactics: coaching and if the conflict remains unresolved, mediating. It’s also important that leaders are able to recognize the warning signs of conflict so that they can take the appropriate action. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).
