SUMMARY:Collaborative Leadership: Personalized Strategies for Becoming a More Effective Member of Your Leadership Team
DESCRIPTION:Professional development for decision-makers—including administrators\, directors\, board and committee members\, and faculty chairs—working in Waldorf schools or other workplace settings \nNo matter what your position or title is\, if you participate in a planning or problem-solving process in your school\, business\, or organization\, you have leadership responsibilities. In this highly-useful course\, our focus is on the practical work of being a leader and decision-maker. Through a process imbued with the anthroposophical understanding of the human being\, and successfully applied in organizations from multi-million dollar nationals to Waldorf schools\, Collaborative Leadership will help you learn how to improve your effectiveness as a member of your leadership team. \nEach participant is asked to bring to the course his or her own organizational question\, project\, or challenge. Using your real-life cases\, we will apply these four core models for collaborative leadership: \n\nThree main leadership tasks: Maintaining and creating identity / Creating space for healthy\, stable relationships / Assuring professional results\nDiagnostic and planning tools: How to look at an organization as a whole and understand the dynamics of intersecting segments\nHow to create processes toward healthy decision-making\nThe balance between power and trust\n\nYour course takeaway will be an individualized action plan for the question\, project\, or challenge you have brought with you\, along with an understanding of the necessary skill set with which to execute it. \nBONUS: Ongoing coaching support! To support you as you implement throughout the year what you have learned and practiced during the summer\, this course includes conference calls facilitated by co-instructor Jessica Heffernan Ziegler scheduled from October through May. In these one-and-a-half-hour-long coaching conversations\, you and your classmates will continue to hone your collaborative leadership skills\, addressing and supporting one another’s progress and challenges—and so gain further insights\, understanding\, and expertise. \nInstructors \n Joachim Ziegler\, PhD\, has been working in the fields of Organizational Development and Human Resources Development since 1994. A partner in MIRA\, an international group of consultants\, Joachim’s current list of American and international clients encompasses the banking\, pharmaceutical\, retail\, and manufacturing sectors\, as well as anthroposophical institutions and Waldorf schools. Joachim is a member of the College of Social Sciences Section at the Goetheanum and the international Association for Social Development and has taught at the University of Muenster and at Germany’s first private university in Herdecke. He holds an MA in Adult Education and a PhD in Medical Education. \nJessica Heffernan Ziegler has been the Executive Director of Sunbridge Institute since 2008; previously\, she taught collaboration and group dynamics in Sunbridge College’s Administration\, Biography\, and Elementary Teacher Education programs. Jessica has worked as an executive coach and organizational development consultant for Waldorf school administrators and teachers\, as well as other professionals\, since 2004\, consulting in diverse institutions and schools in both the US and Germany with a focus on governance issues\, personnel development\, and leadership skills.
