The Understanding and Courage to Lead – Part 2
It is the age-old question: are leaders born or are they made? Some leaders seem to emerge among a group of peers due to their inherent traits, but then fail to perform well in a formal role. Effective leaders instead display a particular subset of positive traits and behaviors. Fostering and developing these behaviors over time with practice can make leaders. Through these four sessions, Medical Physics Leadership Academy (MPLA) will have attendees interactively explore essential personal and interpersonal knowledge and skills founded in and related to empathy and courage – two key characteristics of effective leaders.
Having Courage for the Challenge
The second session of the series will explore courage and how it relates to self-awareness, conflict management, and other personal and interpersonal competencies. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen as well as interact in this hands-on leadership development session.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how courage relates to essential personal and interpersonal knowledge and skills, especially self-awareness and conflict management.
2. Experiment with applications of courage.
3. Adapt essential courage skills in their own environments.
