The importance of soft skills, psychological safety, and engagement at work put forward the need for a different kind of leadership, Courageous Leadership. The traditional idea of leadership as that of coming from a strong, dominant individual places a limitation on the ability of a team to perform at its peak potential. This limitation occurs because all members of the team, including the dominant leader, work to conform to expectations that suppress their natural curiosity and strengths, fearful of the consequences of straying from expectations.
In this webinar we walk you through the steps you can use to create a team of courageous leaders, able to perform at the highest level of the profession. We address the importance of cultivating a team culture that identifies and integrates the unique individual strengths people bring to a team into a single shared identity. That identity is then aligned with a shared aspiration to make a meaningful impact contributing to the lives of others. With a shared aspiration in focus, individuals strengthen their personal resilience against obstacles and setback and engage in the learning and practices necessary to succeed at a high level. This results in a form of shared leadership, which requires courage to embrace and practice.
