Leading, Learning, and Innovation 2015 Summer Leadership Institute School of Professional Studies July July 22 22 -- 24, 24, 2015 2015 At At the the Tate Tate Center Center Take your leadership skills to the next level. Learn how to become a true leader by (1) mastering those interpersonal communication strategies which produce rapid team learning, and (2) understanding how to build a culture for innovation. By engaging with other professionals in this highly interactive and dynamic three-day institute at the College of Charleston’s Tate Center in Charleston, SC, you will be able to assess your current levels of proﬁciency and build skills in two areas crucial for success in contemporary organizations - Organizational Learning and Building Innovation Capacity. Individual assessment and coaching will be provided to support you to identify and develop those speciﬁc competencies which will bring greatest value to your own organization, and a “tool kit” of activities and practices will be assembled to address your personal and organizational development goals. Organizational Learning: The experience begins with the basic elements of expressing yourself in an authentic and skillful manner which promotes learning and partnership in the workplace. You will then learn a progressive model for engaging others, both in relationships and within team settings. Exercises will be provided to practice constructive ways of ﬁnding balance and mutual satisfaction in workplace relationships. This set of interpersonal communication competencies is the foundation for developing an organization that learns as rapidly as that which is required in an environment driven by cultural, regulatory, or market changes. Building Innovation Capacity: In order to lead organizations which can innovate in response to environmental demands, you will have the opportunity to complete a short self-report assessment which measures 14 distinct elements of entrepreneurial behaviors, some of which are skill-based elements and others more linked to personality. By comparing your scores to an exclusive database for both entrepreneurs and corporate managers, you can decide which behaviors are most relevant to your current organizational context and identify ways to leverage those. A development guide will be provided along with group activities to practice selected skills during the workshop experience.
