Most leaders don't lack good intentions. What they lack is a way to stay steady when a conversation turns tense, so feedback goes unsaid, conflict grows, and people work around the problem instead of through it.
The Adaptive Leadership Program is a 3-day intensive for leaders and advocates who want to lead through complexity and difference. Grounded in Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky's adaptive leadership framework, you'll learn to diagnose what's really going on in a hard conversation, step back to see the pattern you're caught in, and catch your own triggers before they run the room. You don't need years of experience, just a willingness to look at yourself.
Delivered by The Equality Project in partnership with the Centre for Civil Dialogue.
