Authentic Leadership: Know Thyself to Lead Thy Team
Dr. Abbey Davis — Director for the Center for the Future of Work, Spears School of Business, and Assistant Professor of Practice, Oklahoma State University
Can you think of a manager you have worked for that you were not able to connect with? Or did something damage trust with you or others on the team? Can you think of a manager you have worked for who practiced what they preached? Who demonstrated courage by making the difficult decisions that were the right decisions?
Out of the two descriptions listed above, which one sounds more like a leader? If you have not had the oppor- tunity to work for the person in the second description, now is your opportunity to become that person.
In this workshop, we will focus on the components of Authentic Leadership as developed by Harvard Professor Bill George and how this leadership philosophy is more crucial than ever before. We will also explore some of Dr. Brene Brown’s work around values and trust and Margaret Heffernan’s work around decision-making as it relates to Authentic Leadership. Participants will take away an understanding of the four components and how they can begin incorporating authentic leadership into the daily interactions with their team, colleagues, and customers. This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for Executive and Professional Development in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.6 continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion of this seminar.
