Leadership at the Edge

  • Western Colorado University Ice Lab 540 Escalante Dr Gunnison, CO 81230 United States (map)

Course Overview: Leadership is a practice that requires the courage to ask others to imagine a different future with you. Sometimes the future is easy, a matter of making steady progress toward reliable results through practiced execution. At other times, leadership helps people take the risk of committing to a path of discovery, an invitation for others to join with you in creativity and innovation, where curiosity and being “OK not knowing” are important steps along the way to new knowing. Leadership at the Edge is a course for those who want to understand this road less travelled, what leaders do (and teams need) to enable collaborative synergy in others. This course will help you demystify leadership as a practice that leads to “magical” outcomes, enabling you to more reliably help your team unlock their ambition with ideas that are ready to come to light.

Target Audience: This is an advanced leadership curriculum for leaders in business, industry, banking, hospitality, education, civic, and non-profit organizations. From newly promoted managers to established leaders, this highly interactive class will help you understand and expand your reach as a leader.

This course teaches:

  • What enables teams to persist in the hard work of collaboration and innovation

  • How to expand your leadership reach, turning tough problems into opportunities
