Cultivating Authentic Leadership

ID 545 Subject & Catalog Number

Description

Self-awareness is essential on your path to authentic leadership. This course uses a variety of self assessment tools, readings, and discussions to help you understand work styles and preferences, strengths and goals, and how those factors contribute to the type of leader you want to be. It is increasingly important for people to have a clear idea of who they are and their purpose in life in order to navigate their work-life balance and become confident and inspiring leaders. Authenticity is about the true self; having clarity about and acting based on your deepest interests, values, and motivations – and most importantly, how we can all bring our authentic selves into all corners of our lives. You will apply what you have learned from the course in your personal development through in-depth self-exploration. You will also use peer coaching, to explore areas of growth, as well as to develop this important skill set. The course aims to promote skills for you to understand and develop authenticity in yourself and to cultivate authentic leadership.
