Authentic Leadership Workshop
January 28, 2011
9am to 12pm
Academic Administrators and their Senior Administrators are invited to a workshop focusing on Authentic Leadership facilitated by Dr. Susan Lieff, Vice-Chair, Education in the Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine and Director of Academic Leadership Development for the Centre for Faculty Development.
In order to effectively lead organizations today, leaders need to be authentic. Authenticity in leadership involves the development of a reflective understanding of your values, strengths and interests. Such insight can enable alignment of your leadership behaviour with the context in which you operate which in turn can generate trust, enrich your ability to relate to and motivate others as well as facilitate your own decision-making and resilience. In this workshop, participants will discover how to increase such self-awareness through storytelling and reflective exercises. This information will be utilized to reflect on their goals and current alignment.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this workshop, participants will have begun a process of:
1. Articulating their values
2. Identifying their interests and appreciating their strengths 3. Considering what this means for creating a personal vision & aligning their work as leaders
