Programs Programs are based upon the core principles of conversational
leadership: The world is far too complex for any one individual to effect or lead real change; every individual has to ask for help and for other eyes, ears and intellects to join them. This help can only be engaged by creating real and often courageous conversations. Gaining The Self Knowledge There is a form of attentive presence necessary to creating courageous conversations that is not an abstract or a question of strategy or manipulation. Real presence and respect for and from others necessitates the development of self knowledge and the disciplines associated with it. Creating The Sense of Belonging Good leadership is based on a conscious or instinctive understanding of human belonging; the motives of our co-workers, our shareholders, our bosses or our customers are essential knowledge and involve us becoming students of human endeavor and belonging. We do not learn these phenomena in order to manipulate these constituencies but to create authentic and necessary conversations with them. Holding The Multi-Level Conversation A good leader is able to keep many conversations alive without bringing themselves to the edge of exhaustion. They are able to occupy the crucial ground and keep the contact point alive with the direction or the problem in question. They are present but they do not overwhelm those who work with them. They strive for a human maturity which is good not only for their organization, but for themselves, their families and society. To best serve these principles, The Institute for Conversational Leadership has created a multi tiered approach: • Programs for CEO’s and Senior Executives • Individual Coaching for Senior Executives • Programs for Upper Middle Managers • Coaching for Upper Middle Managers • Coaching for Intact Teams within Organizations |
