Arts Leadership Digital Classroom: Coaching for Adaptive Leaders

Thursday, February 25, 2016 - 3:00pm

Event Description

“The most common cause of failure in leadership is produced by treating adaptive challenges as if they were technical problems", states leadership expert Ronald Heifetz. As leaders, we need to assess challenges in a way that gets at their root cause to ensure we are addressing the right problems and not focused on band-aid solutions.

Often a clear solution is not evident- this is where leadership gets to be more of an art. Adaptive leaders understand and mobilize people's values, beliefs, and behaviors to get at the root of challenges using extraordinary soft skills.These skills are based on strong emotional intelligence and the genuine interest and ability to develop those around us, regardless of what position of authority and responsibility we may find ourselves in.

Leadership is not a position - you can lead from any position. Whether or not you are a supervisor, you can play a powerful role in transforming your organizational culture into one that embraces coaching and empowers individuals to feel inspired to work to their full potential.
