Workshop 2: Leading in Communities
Community-Led Development challenges our way of thinking, acting and leading. We need leadership from lots of different people, not just from a few exceptional people we call leaders.
This workshop explores approaches and tools for thinking, acting and leading in complex situations, where leadership is possible for anyone committed to continuous learning on the job.
In this workshop you will:
- Recognise your leadership strengths as an active citizen in your community.
- Identify strategies for encouraging leadership in other areas, across diverse groups.
- Explore tools and strategies to make sense of challenging leadership situations.
- Apply frameworks that help you decide how, where and if you might act in complex situations.
This workshop draws on the ‘Leadership as Learning’ framework. This framework fosters deeper understanding of how to work with complexity and grow the leadership of everyone as active citizens.
