LEAD068 - Foundations of Collective Leadership
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to explore your purpose and responsibility in the context of collective leadership. The course invites you to consider collective leadership as an integrated ecosystem sustained through and across generations.
Collective leadership is like a form of weaving: it is through this process that individuals come forward to contribute. It is a process where no one is the leader, where everyone is the leader.
Course Outline
In this course you will learn about collective leadership using teachings from the Nahua (Aztec) people and from various teachings from First Nations. The course content is organized into four units, or movements, and it provides opportunities for learning in community, intergenerational learning, and learning in relationship to the land, body, mind, and spirit.
You will learn through your engagement with the learning community during our virtual sessions, discussion forums and team activities. Through intentional reflection and reading of the course materials. And, you will learn from guest speakers, instructors, the land, and each other.
