Program Overview

This 3 session program is aimed at cultivating the mindset for effective leadership. Leadership skills and techniques are useful, but there is no short cut to greatness. It takes deeper developmental work.

Leadership is uncommon sense because most do not undertake this work as a lifelong discipline. It is more common to toss coins at the surface and “wish for something else.”

Leadership is connected with the deepest parts of ourselves. It has much more to do with character, courage, and conviction than it does with specific skills or even competencies. Leadership requires wisdom, self-knowledge, and the development of our character at psychological levels.

Leadership development is long-term because systems do not change quickly—especially our systems of thinking. No matter how much we are addicted to the quick fix, all of the available evidence tells us that change is hard and long—whether we are changing our organization or our consciousness.

To become masterful at anything, from a sport to the practice of law, a regular discipline of learning and practice is necessary. The same is true of leadership. The payoff comes with long-term attention. Courage, character, compassion and conviction are the stuff of leadership. These are not common attributes and there is no short cut to them.

In this program, we’ll explore this journey of leadership and support participants in self-awareness discovery and begin to define next steps on their path to future development.
