Topic: The Five (Simple) Practices of Exemplary Leadership

Facilitators:  Cathy Raines and Jing Burgi-Tian

 

The Leadership Challenge by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner is 25 years old. The book has sold millions of copies, generated hundreds of research projects, and has been translated into many languages.

In this session, we'll explore the five practices that the book and research describes:

- Model the Way
- Inspire a Shared Vision
- Challenge the Process
- Enable Others to Act
- Encourage the Heart

The model considers leaders to be anyone rather than leadership as a position, though it recognizes the responsibilities that positional leaders hold. It includes a customized 360 called The Leadership Practices Inventory.

The session will be designed for everyone to participate. For those with experience with the model, please plan to add your experience and wisdom.
