MANAGING THE UNDERCURRENTS OF MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP (1 DAY)
Workshop Date: 27/04/2023
The notion of leadership and management can conjure up a notion of arriving at a destination of finality! The performance of leadership and management is socially constructed, influencing ideas regarding what is and is not permissible within these roles.
This one day training will use a variety of methodologies, to offer a space for participants to consider the intersection of their personal and professional selves drawing upon Communication Management of Meaning (CMM) and positioning theory as a frame for understanding.
The day will enable participants to focus on an episode/dilemma from practice, using a consultation process with a reflecting team. This approach will support theory to practice application.
You will be able to develop your self-reflexivity with regards to what can be constituted as “sticky moments”, drawing upon the concept of positioning as a means of enabling relational reflexivity; what level of context are you in, where do you want to get to, and consider what will enable expansion?
