Course Description

 

Leaders inspire, build capacity in others, lead change, and motivate employees to do more than they thought possible. This session includes a short exercise where we watch film clips to identify inspirational leadership behaviors. The team exercise involves teams participating in a video case about the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, a dynamic and situation where they must determine how to inspire soldiers to overcome their frustrations to fight along with their unit. Each team presents an inspiring vision and employs inspirational behaviors to respond to the crisis. Selected individuals deliver the team’s vision statement to the class.  We will discuss how visionary leaders inspire people to connect to the organization’s purpose and we will understand where their particular contributions fit into the vision and how they belong to something larger than themselves.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss the impact of ambiguity and uncertainty on individual psychology and performance
• Recognize the components and leader behaviors associated with inspirational leadership: leadership that promotes a personal connection, builds confidence, demonstrates a caring attitude, and includes great expectations
• Employ these behaviors in a video case and learn how to construct and effectively communicate a vision for followers.
