The prolonged COVID-19 response has altered our personal lives and professional roles, changing the way we work, more than any other crisis in our lifetime. Unprecedented change is the new normal. It will continue to be important, more now than ever, for leaders at every level to rise to the occasion. We need to be nimble, adjust our thinking, innovate, adapt, quickly communicate, and move forward even as the ground seems to shift beneath our feet. For these reasons, insight becomes critical to lead the way forward.
The Leading with Insight series is designed to support public health leadership at every level of an organization during this time of change, and will help leaders discover the strengths, resources, and insights they need to meet the challenges ahead.
The three-part series includes nine interactive sessions focused on a new way of leadership in a post-COVID world exploring how leaders can learn, facilitate, and create.
Learning Objectives
Learners in this series will:
- Consider the power of continuous learning, curiosity, and growth mindset as well as how to learn from others through listening deeply.
- Review how leaders make work easier by building relationships and nurturing an environment of mutual trust, respect, psychological safety, and agility.
- Explore the values that drive you as a leader, how to create alignment between your values and vision and those of your team, the importance of a compelling vision for the future that drives what we do today, and how to sustain that vision and shared sense of purpose during tumultuous times.
