In a world where there are clear archetypes for what leaders should look like, how do you claim your own leadership style? What do you bring? What impact do you have? How do you fit into your organization?
We are so oriented to looking out: to metrics, to promotions and to feedback to figure out how we are doing as leaders. In this interactive workshop, we will add a new dimension: orienting toward your core values.
This journey begins by discovering, articulating and grounding yourself in those core values. Once we are oriented there, how can we discover something new in information that comes from outside? We will look next at how you can request and respond to feedback in a way that leads to an authentic sense of yourself as a leader.
Learning Outcomes:
- Looking in: articulating your core values
- Looking out: gathering and filtering feedback
- Strategies to define your authentic leadership style
