Appreciative Leadership
"The world has changed. Approaches to leadership that served well in the past do not address the challenges of the 21st century. We have crossed a threshold to a new era: one that demands a radical shift in leadership strategies and practices. To meet this challenge, leadership now must respond to new trends currently defining the social milieu of organizations and communities.
They call for Appreciative Leadership.”
New generations have come of age.
People want to be involved in the decisions that affect them and to be acknowledged for a job well done.
Diversity is the norm.
Organizations and communities are no longer homogeneous. People in today’s organizations want leadership to be collaborative and just.
Holistic, sustainable approaches are essential.
The most pressing challenges of our time are global in nature. They cannot be resolved by one person or one business. They require unprecedented appreciation of differences and collaboration. They call for Appreciative Leadership.
Institutions are being reinvented.
They are more fluid and more agile. In them, distributed leadership and power emerges as people self-organize to meet the needs of the whole.
This program will benefit anyone in a senior leadership role who wants to get more out of their team or organization. Participants can expect to leave the program not only aware of the possibilities of the appreciative leadership approach but also with an enhanced sense of their own and their team’s possibilities. It is expected that participants will be able to use the appreciative leadership skills to immediately impact performance at the workplace.
