As a part of the Student Leadership Institute, Lis Maurer will present a free session, entitled "Dancing on Slippery Floors: Leading in the Age of Chaos," on Tuesday, November 6, 12:10–1:05 p.m. in the Clark Lounge.
Chaos theory isn't just for physicists anymore! As culture shifts from a mechanical/hierarchical paradigm to the emerging paradigm of chaos, what implications does it have for leadership? Explore effective strategies for living and working in turbulence. Learn ways to cultivate a sense of optimism in uncertainty, discover the underlying order in apparently random events, and co-create the future.
The outcomes for the session are:
• Increase knowledge of the science of chaos and its implications in leadership and communication.
• Increase knowledge of strategies for leading in the age of chaos.
• Increase understanding of the impact of working/planning using the old mechanical paradigm, in a time of paradigm shift (i.e. stress!)
This session earns credit for the "Leading Others" Certificate.
