PAIRED ELEMENTS FOR LEADERS

Perspective and Identity

THE POWER OF THE LENS

course description

This course looks at leadership through the lens of perspective and identity. The cyclical nature of perspective and identity, where one is either feeding or responding to the other, means that we need to be intentional about both. You’ll learn about how your perspective has shaped your identity. You’ll evaluate how your leadership is shaping how your team perceives new opportunities and challenges. You’ll also design a simple plan to connect each team member’s identity with the opportunities the team needs to pursue.

course objectives

Become more aware of your own perspective on leadership and your identity around how qualified you are to lead. That awareness can lead to introspection and opportunities to make changes in how you see things and how that perspective is influencing your identity as a leader.
Start to see how team members are “seeing” things like objectives, opportunities, challenges and failure and then guide your team through those perspectives.
Start to shape individual and team identity by encouraging new perspectives within the team about who they are, what they are capable of and how they’re going to do great things both now and in the future.
Create an environment that is safe for different perspectives and identities.
Work with your team to connect these diverse perspectives and identities to the perspective, identity and objectives of the organization as a whole.
