The Harvard Kennedy School has long stressed the importance of leadership in organizations, government, and business.
Regardless of the leadership framework, theory, or practice one might embrace, continuing to explore leadership styles and capacity is critical in becoming effective and balanced in our approach to those with whom we interact.
This Harvard Kennedy School New England Alumni Association program focuses on the development of the skills and strategies needed for addressing leadership challenges.
This program, Leadership Survival Skills, is offered to all interested alumni and friends of the Harvard Kennedy School.
About the Workshop
We are living in truly transformative times: they are ever-changing, shifting, and challenging. We are torn apart and then told to evolve.
These times have seen a resurfacing of old wounds and painful divisions. These reemerging afflictions can no longer be pushed into the shadows, kept secret, or denied. The emotional bruises almost shout from the rooftops to be seen, acknowledged, and healed.
How do we respond skillfully and wisely ?
How do we find our way ?
How can individual and collective healing ease the pain and begin the recovery ?
Join us for an opportunity to gather and explore these questions and navigate through what may feel like endless crises and chaos.
