ESS435 - Essentials for Leading in Organizations
Course Description
Our work and leadership take place in the complex ecosystems of relationships we call organizations. Applying a systems-thinking lens to your leadership practice is of critical importance in these times of complexity and uncertainty, and most people vastly underestimate the power they have to effect positive, systemic change in their communities, teams and organizations.
This course will equip you to constructively influence and promote change, understand the psychology of change, and initiate system-wide change. You'll explore your own beliefs about power, and learn to wield your levers of influence in healthy, conscious and effective ways. You'll discover diverse leadership and organizational models and challenge yourself to decolonize your leadership practice. By doing so, you’ll understand how to shift your workplace culture towards new ways of being and working together, and learn how to create shared meaning around organizational mission, vision, and goals to create clarity, alignment and momentum.
