When you’re leading at your best, you’re like what?
How our personal metaphors influence our leadership style
Dr. Caitlin Walker will kick off Clean Autumn 2022 with a Leadership Monday. We encounter leaders throughout our early years. They might be amongst our family, or children in our neighbourhoods and schools, we may meet brilliant teachers or an inspirational lecturer, great leaders in schools and universities can change the abilities and thinking and outcomes for many many young people. In workplaces a leader can inspire great thinking and behaviour or they can create the conditions that foster the opposite.
In this workshop we will explore your personal experience of leadership and the qualities of the leaders you’ve had through your life. We will take these idiosyncratic experiences and inquire into the possibility that there is a generalised model. We’ll look at your own qualities and where you naturally align with being the leader you’d like to be and where you don’t. Some of us are not at our best in a leadership position.
As well as our personal experiences we will look at the bias around leadership, who does and doesn’t get to hold leadership positions or how stories and myths around leaders can be told and retold to create social narratives that can preclude or include some people from leadership.
Caitlin has a vast range of experience working with leaders in community, education and work places. Although she’s usually called in when things are going wrong, she’s been lucky enough to work with high performing leaders who are doing a great job. She uses clean questions to help leaders build a model of their natural patterns and their metaphors for themselves at their best and worst and with these to create a resilient model that they can use through their future work. These metaphor models help them to connect to their own values and principles and also to communicate these more clearly to the people around them. This will be an opportunity for leaders from different walks of life to come together for a deep dive into what leading means to you and what we can learn from one another and transfer, creatively into our own context.
This workshop is for people who are in a (senior) leadership position, or who will be in one in the (near) future.
