Course Description
This course meets on the following Saturdays: 1/25; 2/8, 22; 3/1, 29; 4/12, 26; 5/10.


It takes courage to do things differently–especially when those things disrupt established norms. But courage can be contagious. This course will provide participants with adaptive strategies for cultivating courageous leadership in diverse and distributed organizations. Together, we’ll explore the complex dynamics of power, culture, and community within everyday systems. We’ll also work proactively to transform our thinking, as a prerequisite for creating new norms in a collaborative environment that supports self-reflection and collective action–while growing together in this 21st-century moment.
 
In the spirit of doing things differently, we will develop personalized toolkits for purpose-driven work while blending organizational coaching practices and strategic lessons from science fiction. This will involve embracing organizational dynamics’ interdisciplinary nature through case studies, models, and examples that link the empirical with the speculative. Course materials will support our approach: from academic articles, whitepapers, and presentations to digital media, creative works, and interactive simulations. Participants may even incorporate their capstone projects as a component of the course. Join us as we work carefully and creatively toward courageous leadership that inspires us all to build better futures.
