Advanced Leadership School |
One key to successful leadership is continuous personal change. Personal change is a reflection of our inner growth and empowerment.
— Robert E. Quinn
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
— Niccolo Machiavelli
The Prince (1532)
The idea to have Advanced Leadership School initially appeared in 2006 as a feedback to the increasing intellectual demand from MUNRFE members to grow and being more advanced as leaders. The project turned to be a success, so that we received a request to continue with this initiative and in spring 2007 a new course for ALS II was elaborated to become a guide for MUNRFE leaders to cope with leadership challenges in contemporary world of chaos and uncertainty.
The course implies a lot reading and writing. Participants are expected to challenge common truth, come up with new concepts and understandings, examine case studies, and experiment and “try” leadership a lot. ALS goal is to become leadership practitioners with a broad understanding of complex processes in politics, economics and management.
Advanced Leadership School offers:
(1) An introduction to the concepts of leadership development and complex organizational behavior as these are evolving from theories of quantum physics, self-organizing systems, and chaos theory, sociology, political science, economics, psychology, and anthropology
(2) An opportunity to experiment with these concepts and tools and reflect on their implications for developing a theory of leadership
(3) Organizational behavior ideas which is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness.
(4) An opportunity to grasp the complexity of strategic management as a new paradigm of thinking that guides the decision making process in business and not only.
