WEBINAR: February 9, 2022 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST

Crisis Leadership: Outer Impact Through Inner Mastery – Values as a Tool for Leadership in Transformative Time (Dr. Paul Ingram, Columbia University, USA, 2 hrs.)

This two-hour webinar will present a practical, interactive guide to effective leadership during crises. It will consist of two domains:

A- Personal Leadership: The Role of Values
Leadership is a social act, but effective leadership begins with leading ones’ self. We will offer guidance and a practical tool for personal leadership in crises through the lens of values. We will begin with a discussion of how leaders rely on their values during crises, including examples. We will then conduct a hands-on exercise helping the participants identify their most salient values, so they can rely on them during crises for motivation, decision making, stress management and trust building.

B- Interpersonal Leadership: Inspiration and Inclusion
Responding to crises takes a team. Effective leaders bring out the best in the people they lead during a crisis. We will again begin with examples and go on to identify best practices for inspiring a team to operate effectively during crises and making the most of their efforts and perspectives to solve novel problems. A key concept will be what the leader can do to produce psychological safety during the crisis.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

• Participants will be able to identify the top values that can be called on during a crisis to:

(1) Make decisions;

(2) Motivate;

(3) Resist stress

(4) Build trust-based connections with others;

(5) Act ethically.

• Participants will be able to demonstrate best practices for inspiring and including others during a crisis, including:

(1) Using tools for producing psychological safety;

(2) Identifying what to communicate and when.
