Start your leadership journey by exploring the power of inner growth.
Welcome to Session 1 of the Launch program, a part of Dalhousie’s Faculty and Staff Leadership Academy. We look forward to working with all of you to provide a great experience that will make a difference for you personally and professionally – and to enjoying the journey together.
Leadership is a mindset – a perspective and attitude. Being a leader doesn’t start with a title or position – it starts with you. Knowing your natural strengths, core values and personal brand for leadership gives you the foundation to achieve your greatest success and support others. Leadership is an evolving approach that goes beyond traditional management. It focuses on actively valuing, respecting, and leveraging the wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within a team or organization to achieve common goals, drive innovation, and foster an environment where everyone feels they belong
Led by Lisa Tilley, this session will focus on the foundations of leadership, what it is and what it isn’t. We will look at the impact of differing styles and approaches and delve into the opportunities and responsibility of leadership in your role and career. Developing your self-awareness is critical to building confidence in your own approach to leadership. Most importantly, you will know where leadership fits in your work and life.
