Overview
Courage: Unlocking the Power of Humanized Leadership is a three-part experiential program for senior and emerging leaders focused on bringing powerful human-centered values to life. Leaders will gain clarity about the values they hold and align them with their leadership style to drive new levels of trust and connection within teams.
A recent Gartner report highlighted how social and political turbulence, work-life fusion, and hybrid work have called for a new type of “humanized” leadership, saying “Employees demand leaders take a more human approach to leading. Leaders today need to be authentic, empathetic, and adaptable” (Gartner, Top HR Trends and Priorities for 2023).
The world unfolding before us presents accelerated change and turbulence within every dimension of our lives. The norms and assumptions that once guided us are no longer useful predictors. How do we proceed, particularly in moments of crisis, uncertainty, and stress when our past experiences don’t inform us in useful ways about what’s next?
The Courage program helps leaders adapt by inviting them to reexamine and redesign their inner and outer landscapes, and equipping them with the necessary tools to lead with authenticity, humanity, and trust. Internally, participants learn to navigate new conditions, become more adaptive to change, and express more responsive patterns when challenged, rather than contracting and isolating with defenses.
Interpersonally, leaders learn about the power of interdependence, how to identify and leverage the strength of their networks and personal ecosystems, and improve connection and communication within their teams. The result: a higher level of integrity between the values of leaders and the actions they are embodying – particularly in moments of crisis, uncertainty, or distress.
