Klingenstein Seminar: Getting to Awe—Sensing and Shaping School Leadership
Leadership at all levels of school presents an awesome responsibility, a complex and daunting practice that is also full of wonder, possibility, and opportunity to make an impact. Leaders must balance multiple constituencies, understanding human and group dynamics and organizational politics.
Graduates of the Klingenstein master's programs may remember political leadership as one of Bolman and Deal's four frames of leadership (structural, human resource, political, and symbolic) that allow leaders to understand their organizations from multiple angles. In this session, we'll focus on the political growth edge—to deepen the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to develop these political capacities of independent school leadership.
How can leaders develop this capacity? How might acknowledging the awe of it all assist in our growth? In this interactive, co-creative session, collaborate with other educator leaders as you practice listening and sensemaking to deepen your political leadership capacities.
