Three of the ways this course is different

1. It's not conceptual learning:
The traditional method of teaching leadership deals with leader and leadership conceptually from a third-person perspective which is an epistemological / theoretical model. Students are given styles, practices of leaders as described and explained. In this conceptual learning you gather information, knowledge and understanding about leadership to be informed.

2. It's not memorization:
In a traditional leadership teaching, students are presented with knowledge and expected to remember and determine how to apply the knowledge in the leadership situation.

3. Be a leader anywhere, anytime:
Imagine having access to new ways of being that provide you with naturally acting as a leader as your natural self expression in any situation and in the face of any circumstances; without having to remember strategies or techniques. This is the non-traditional approach offered in this program.

THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE COURSE

Over the two month, 6 day course, Kelly Townsend from Townsend Consulting Group will lead the course. Here is an overview of the course foundation:

Integrity (in our model, a positive phenomenon):

Being whole and complete – achieved by honoring one’s word as we define honoring

Authenticity:
Being and acting consistent with who you hold yourself to be for yourself, and who you hold yourself out to be for others
Being Given Being and Action by Something Bigger than Oneself:
Source of the serene passion (charisma) required to lead and to develop others as leaders and the source of persistence (joy in the labor of) when the path gets tough.
Being Cause in the Matter:
Being cause in the matter of everything in one’s life as a stand one takes on self and life, and acting from that stand. It is not true that you are the cause of everything in your life, rather this is a place to stand – a place from which to deal with life that you have chosen for yourself.

Our Contextual Framework – Distinguishing Leader and Leadership as:

Linguistic Abstractions: Creates leader and leadership as “realms of possibility”.

Phenomena: Leader and leadership as experienced, that is, as exercised, or what one observes or is impacted by.

Domains: The temporal sphere in which leader and leadership function.

Terms: Leader and leadership as definitions.

The Ontological Constraints that Limit the Effective Exercise of Leadership
Ontological Perceptual Constraints:

That which limits and shapes (distorts) what we perceive of the situations we are dealing with in any leadership situation.

Ontological Functional Constraints:

Automatic stimulus-response behavior that limits one’s way of being and acting in any leadership situation.
