Take your leadership skills to the next level.
Learn how to become a true leader by (1) mastering those interpersonal communication strategies which produce
rapid team learning, and (2) understanding how to build a culture for innovation. By engaging with other
professionals in this highly interactive and dynamic three-day institute at the College of Charleston’s Tate Center
in Charleston, SC, you will be able to assess your current levels of proficiency and build skills in two areas crucial
for success in contemporary organizations - Organizational Learning and Building Innovation Capacity.
Individual assessment and coaching will be provided to support you to identify and develop those specific
competencies which will bring greatest value to your own organization, and a “tool kit” of activities and practices
will be assembled to address your personal and organizational development goals.
Organizational Learning: The experience begins with the basic elements of expressing yourself in an authentic
and skillful manner which promotes learning and partnership in the workplace. You will then learn a progressive
model for engaging others, both in relationships and within team settings. Exercises will be provided to practice
constructive ways of finding balance and mutual satisfaction in workplace relationships. This set of interpersonal
communication competencies is the foundation for developing an organization that learns as rapidly as that which
is required in an environment driven by cultural, regulatory, or market changes.
Building Innovation Capacity: In order to lead organizations which can innovate in response to environmental
demands, you will have the opportunity to complete a short self-report assessment which measures 14 distinct
elements of entrepreneurial behaviors, some of which are skill-based elements and others more linked to
personality. By comparing your scores to an exclusive database for both entrepreneurs and corporate managers,
you can decide which behaviors are most relevant to your current organizational context and identify ways to
leverage those. A development guide will be provided along with group activities to practice selected skills
during the workshop experience.
