Perceptions of Leadership

Despite overwhelming evidence to show that compassionate, collaborative leaders who empower others are more effective in their leadership roles, most people think that good leaders have to be heroic, masculine, and powerful.

This is why so many damaging leaders get into positions of power, and why some of the very best leaders have limited impact in their workplaces/communities/the wider world. A fundamental shift of understanding is needed among "followers" about what constitutes good leadership if things are to change.

In this workshop we'll...

• Look at the research into perceptions of leadership and its implications
• Explore how we, as leaders or leadership development professionals, can help to shift perceptions of what good leadership is
• Identify how we can help generate a world of compassionate, humble, feminine, regenerative leadership
