Session Description:
“Leadership is a process that takes place among people working together toward positive change.” - Komives & Wagner, 2009
We all have the responsibility to be leaders in our workplaces and to strive for a culture and climate where everyone can thrive. We also can build our capacity for leadership, no matter what role or title we have.
Originally developed at the UCLA Higher Education Research Institute, the Social Change Model of Leadership posits that leadership is socially responsible, and it impacts change on behalf of others. In the workplace, it is our interactions with people and processes that build our workplace cultures and climate. How can we choose our behaviors and attitudes as individuals and teams to reimagine and create equitable thriving workplaces?
In this interactive workshop, you will be introduced to the seven aspects of the Social Change Model of Leadership and discuss ways in which each impact our experience of the workplace and the people we work with. You will have an opportunity to develop a personal definition of leadership, and design action steps to build your personal capacity for leadership. We will discuss actions individual staff can take, as well as opportunities for managers and department or division leaders to reimagine leadership and implement what they’ve learned with their teams.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop a personal definition of leadership
