The Leadership Course
THE ONTOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF LEADERSHIP AND PERFORMANCE: BEING A LEADER AND THE EFFECTIVE EXERCISE OF LEADERSHIP
If there ever was a time for a new model of leadership, that time is now. The new Leadership Course created by Werner Erhard, Michael C. Jensen, and others that will acquaint you with a new approach of leadership; a new and unique model of leadership based on access to leadership (being a leader) and integrity.
The course is a leadership laboratory where instructors work with the participants to create direct access to the ways of being, thinking, planning, and action required to be a leader and to exercise leadership effectively – in any situation, and no matter the circumstances.
This course, while still in development, has been taught since 2005 at the University of Rochester Simon School of Business to MBA, PhD, and Executive Development Program students, faculty, administrators, alumni and outside corporate executives. It is currently being taught to undergraduates and faculty at the United States Air Force Academy. In August 2008, the course was also taught to some 250 senior management consultants from 66 separate firms. And in January 2009 the course was presented at Erasmus Academie in Rotterdam.
In the course participants discover a new and powerful model of integrity and the difference between management and leadership. The course is designed to open up and leave participants with an expanded personal opportunity - ways of being, thinking, planning, and action that leave them being a leader and exercising leadership effectively. This new model of leadership and its practice is applicable for all domains of leadership, including personal leadership (being the leader of yourself and your own life) and team and organizational leadership in school, business, and any other area in which one would like to make a difference (e.g. family, community, and politics).
