The environmental, social, political, and economic conditions we face at the beginning of the 21st Century have forever changed the roles and responsibilities of today’s leaders. The world is changing, and we must learn and change with it.
A critical step in becoming an effective leader is to assess honestly one’s own understanding of what it means to be a good leader, and to gain insight into one’s own personal leadership skills and style.
To survive and grow in this changing world, leaders are discovering that new, more sustainable and inclusive approaches to leading are essential. These requirements are redefining who leaders are, what they do, and where they reside within a group. They are even redefining the very nature of the relationship between the leaders and those who, historically, have been called followers.
Furthermore, evidence is mounting worldwide that leaders and organizations who ignore these changing requirements and continue to adhere to traditional leadership identities and definitions put their entire enterprise in jeopardy.
The Callaway Leadership Institute offers one-on-one confidential leadership/mentoring coaching, as well as a variety of practical leadership development activities including topic-specific virtual workshops and courses. We also offer, in person or online, Effective 21st Century Leadership: The 7 Aspirations, a year-long comprehensive leadership development program to organizations seeking to strengthen the leadership capabilities of its key employees.
The contexts we’ve been used to have shifted irrevocably and are calling for new ways of adapting to many conditions that have never existed before. Each of us must cultivate our leadership capacities and assume responsibility to manifest creative solutions.
Through our online platform, we offer a blended model of learning that allows for asynchronous learning. Every week, we provide you with pre-recorded short video content accompanied by topic-specific assessments, self-reflections, and practical homework assignments. We combine this content with live interactions with our facilitator and with other participants throughout the course.
The course is evidence-based and uses experiential learning to bring the concepts to life. The work is cumulative; each session builds on prior work and real-time application throughout the ten weeks.
Content is augmented by topic-specific short videos highlighting each essential people skill and its relevance for 21st-century leaders.
