 Announcing
the 2007 Spring Institute
Relational
Leadership:
It Makes All the Difference
Monday, March 5, 2007
9:30 AM - 4:00 PM
5 Continuing Education Credits
Tuition: $250
Wellesley College Club, Wellesley, MA
Relational
leadership has become a new buzzword in the popular
press. Books and articles exhort leaders to be more "relational," to
use their emotional intelligence and social know-how to get
things done. But often, too little guidance is given on how
to actually implement a relational style in a world where
deadlines need to be met, tough decisions need to be made,
and turf battles are a fact of life. This Institute will
explore what a truly relational model of leadership would
look like in practice.
Using
Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) – a groundbreaking model
of relational development – we will examine some of the
dilemmas of being "real" at work, emphasizing specific
ways that productivity and good relationships go hand-in-hand.
Participants will learn how relational intelligence enhances
performance, profitability, and personal well-being by allowing
each of us to bring our best ideas and energy to work.
Educational
Objectives
1.
To explore a model of leadership based on Relational-Cultural
Theory.
2. To examine how relational leadership can
be practiced in different workplace settings.

Relational
Leadership…For a Change
9:30 – 12:30
PM
The morning session will include an
introduction to RCT as it applies to
work settings, including the importance
of empathy,
mutual influence, and authentic interactions. We will also
discuss how relational leadership actually works – what
it is, what it isn't, and why it matters.

Connection Lunch 12:30-1:30
PM
Creating
Real Change …
1:30 – 4:00 PM
The afternoon session will focus on
the concrete development of ideas about
creating change in our workplaces.
How can one
individual make a difference? How do we work with allies to
create the "open moments" when change can happen?
