Description

Please join the Project on Positive Leadership for a live (free) demonstration of our instructional tools focused on leading with decisiveness and patience. Learn how to engage your team in a deliberate decision-making process that facilitates shared ownership of problems and solutions, including an overview of a new tool to assist leaders and teams to jumpstart the process of thinking through a problem, choice, or issue and come to a decision or conclusion in which issues at hand are articulated, assumptions are made visible, and relevant points of view are considered. Additionally, participants will learn how patience takes different forms in different circumstances and adapt approaches to exhibiting patience so it is inspiring to each stakeholder or stakeholder group. This session is suitable for classroom instructors, HR employees, learning and development officers, business consultants and coaches. Participants will be introduced to our entire repository of free instructional tools that they are welcome to explore and use in their own workplace. Registration is required. Breakfast and coffee will be provided. A recording of this presentation will be available after.
