The Art & Danger of Adaptive Leadership

The Peter Lougheed Leadership College (PLLC) has partnered with the Faculty of Extension to deliver the first PLLC continuing education course this June—The Art and Danger of Adaptive Leadership. This course will be taught by Dr. Cristina Stasia, who has been voted by students as one of the top three most inspiring instructors at the University of Alberta.

About the Course

Lead­ing effec­tive­ly and inclu­sive­ly in today’s increas­ing­ly polar­ized world requires both head and heart. Build­ing your team’s — and your — abil­i­ty to adapt to unfore­seen real­i­ties also requires you to hold steady dur­ing peri­ods of intense change. This course uses an adap­tive lead­er­ship frame­work to strength­en your abil­i­ty to tack­le com­plex prob­lems in your pro­fes­sion­al and per­son­al worlds. Adap­tive lead­er­ship is a crit­i­cal tool and skill set for those look­ing to dri­ve sys­temic change while being account­able to their own val­ues and goals.

Par­tic­i­pants will engage in pub­lic learn­ing to test the adap­tive diag­nos­tic process togeth­er. Pub­lic learn­ing is a col­lab­o­ra­tive process where we use the class itself as a case study, pay­ing atten­tion to how author­i­ty and lead­er­ship are alive in the class­room, and using class­room engage­ment itself as a test­ing ground for these new lead­er­ship approaches.

Registration Information

This course is from June 4-29, starting with a weekend of intensive learning follwed by Tuesday sessions for four consecutive weeks.
