Module 2: Equitable Leadership Styles and Facilitation Skills
Lesson 2 What type of leader are you
Leaders must understand how they currently lead and how they have led in the past to gauge where they want to be as a leader. This module will explore why leaders need to understand the connection between their leadership styles and setting goals to become more equitable.
Self-awareness and collaboration are essential skills for leaders to foster relationships with their organization and community to build a shared vision instead of assuming the dream for everyone. A part of determining that vision is to facilitate conversations. Leading a discussion on sensitive topics can be challenging and uncomfortable, but they are often necessary. I will share with you some strategies for engaging with your stakeholders to create your shared vision. Such strategies are an important way for arts organizations to stay relevant and achieve their mission.
An inclusive leader expresses authenticity by knowing and acting on what they understand to be true. That truth aligns with the organization's core values and is manifested in behaviors and decisions that take into account every person within the organization regardless of power and role. That authenticity and alignment allow inclusive leaders to be agile. They can shift and change as necessary to reach shared goals. The ability to be authentic, truthful, aligned, and agile requires self-awareness, transparency, moral perspective, and a balanced way of processing information.
