LIDER

Effective leadership is about possibilities. We acknowledge the present condition, stare-down challenges, examine the opportunities, partner with others, and advance change. Leading effectively requires that we engage in inner-work-by cultivating authenticity and a learning disposition-matched with collaborative outer-action that produces healthy change... We believe this is possible through an intentional (re)framing of leadership. By challenging false assumptions of leadership (i.e., leadership rooted in position, power, prestige, and personal reward) and promoting a new construct of leadership-leadership connected to authentic personhood (Who am I? What are my values? What is my vision?) and the purpose with which one leads (How can I engage in good, meaningful work? Where do my personal passions intersect with the pressing needs of my organization or community?)-a new standard of leadership will emerge...
