With the rapid change, growing complexity, and increasing interdependence that characterize today's workplace and world, successful leaders are agile leaders.
This series of half-day workshops designed for UW managers, directors, and other executives is based on the work of Bill Joiner and Stephen Josephs, co-authors of Leadership Agility: Five Levels of Mastery for Anticipating and Initiating Change. Participants will use their organizational initiatives and work challenges to further their leadership development and advance the agility of themselves, their organizations, and others.
Context Setting AUTUMN 2011
Context-setting agility improves your ability to scan your environment, frame the initiatives you need to take, and clarify the outcomes you need to achieve. As you develop your level of context-setting agility, you improve your ability to consider the organizational context that surrounds the issue you're addressing and the impact of your initiatives within the larger environment.NOVEMBER 16, 2011
Stakeholders WINTER 2012
Leaders use stakeholder agility to identify the key stakeholders of initiatives, understand what they have at stake, and assess the extent to which their views and goals are aligned with your own. As you develop your stakeholder agility, you're increasingly able to enter into others' frames of reference while still honoring your own perspective and to communicate in ways that align conflicting interests.FEBRUARY 29, 2012
Creativity SPRING 2012
Creative agility involves analyzing problems and creating solutions for the new, complex, and ill-defined problems encountered in turbulent environments. As this competency develops, you enhance your ability to question underlying assumptions, see important relationships between apparent opposites, and seriously consider a range of unique solutions to fit the situation.JUNE 6, 2012 | 8:30 A.M.–12:30 PM | $140 | Register now!

Self-leadership agility enables you to use your initiatives as opportunities to develop into the kind of leader you want to be. As your self-leadership develops, you're able to more fully align your behaviors with your values and aspirations in a way that increases both your personal and professional development and leads to increased satisfaction in your work and life.
This series debuted in 2010 and is repeating in 2011–12 to give leaders a chance to take the series from the beginning or to make-up workshops they missed due to schedule conflicts. Although interrelated, all workshops in this series can stand alone. Participation in the entire series is recommended for a thorough understanding of all four leadership agility competencies and their application, but leaders may choose individual workshops that serve their needs.
Each workshop will include a brief overview of leadership agility, assessment of individual level for the competency being addressed, and opportunities for application.
