A Collaborative Initiative
of the
Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs
and the
Carlson School of Management
These exceptionally difficult times present an enormous challenge for the field of leadership education and development. The stakes are high and demand that we in the field innovate, integrate, experiment and adapt to unstable conditions and unmapped terrain
This fall, the Center for Integrative Leadership is launching an innovative, new program for those who make leadership education and development their work. If you are a leadership development educator, facilitator, trainer, consultant or coach, in business, government, or the non-profit sector, then the Forum is for you. The Forum seeks to advance the field of leadership development by engaging professionals who reflect a broad range of perspectives. The six sessions will draw upon the work of Ron Heifetz and Barbara Crosby (who will both join the cohort for a session), and explore more fully the training and support of leaders who effectively work across boundaries.
The Center for Integrative Leadership at the University of Minnesota aims to develop a better understanding of how collective action across sectors (business, government, nonprofits, media, academia) and geographic boundaries can solve some of the world’s most pressing and complex societal problems. It is a cooperative undertaking of the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs and the Carlson School of Management.
