Course Description
Leaders operate within an environment of rapid, unpredictable, and unrelenting change. The social and political landscape are ever evolving, creating challenges and opportunities to drive meaningful and sustainable personal and organizational change through rEvolutionary leadershipTM. rEvolutionary leadership encompasses the notion that leaders must be both evolutionary—managing constant change over time and reacting and responding to the environment, and revolutionary—change agents who not just react to change but lead change using disruption as a creative force to act upon the environment through the lens of equity. rEvolutionary leadership centers on four internal skillsets that interplay with one another to generate an individual’s leadership capacities: Cognitive, Emotional, Spiritual, and Behavioral.
This 5-week mini-course is designed to address the importance of organizational change and will focus on individual, team, and organizational leadership. It will provide learners with the foundation for examining and developing their own individual leadership style. The human-serving sector is faced with an incredibly challenging and rapidly changing operating environment, marked by shrinking resources, higher expectations to demonstrate impact, and challenges to the social contract. Consequently, nonprofit leaders must possess the ability to navigate complexity, secure buy in, and break down barriers, to just name a few, so that their organizations can achieve their respective mission and vision. Change leaders understand the importance to building a high-impact organization is not just nestled in self-leading and self-investing. Real change leadership is also about investing in others that follow, creating and developing a learning organization that understands the change equation and working co-creatively with leaders in the communities and neighborhoods being served for maximum impact.
Leaders will understand the alignment of cognitive, emotional, behavioral and spiritual aspects of leadership needed to support change leadership within and through their organizations.
· Cognitive Capacity – the conscious, intellectual ability to anticipate, perceive, understand, and analyze factors in the environment that may drive the need for change
· Emotional Capacity – the capacity to emotionally process environmental factors that might lead to change, and to experience the resulting empathy, passion, courage and resolve that motivate the leader to work for change
· Spiritual Capacity – the ability to envision with clarity the better future that could be brought about through change, and the will to believe that achieving that future state is not only attainable but a moral obligation
· Behavioral Capacity – the ability to foresee and implement the tangible, observable, measurable actions that will set change in motion
The need for change, planning for change, implementing change, and evaluating change will be discussed from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. In the end, real systems change takes place through powerful high-performing and high-impact teams, organizations, and communities made up of rEvolutionary leaders.
