Leadership Learning Community: Leadership for a New Era

The Leadership Learning Community (LLC) recently started a new initiative: Leadership for a New Era: a collaborative project that invites members of the leadership development community to work together to shift the focus of leadership – away from the focus on the individual to more inclusive approaches that recognize leadership within groups and communities.

The goal of the collaborative project is to produce four research publications that will influence the field of leadership. One of the publications will focus on exploring how to support the leadership of people of color and addresses questions such as:

• What are powerful, culturally-based, culturally specific models of leadership that build on ethnic/racial community assets?

• How can we create environments that support more inclusive leadership?

• What role can leadership programs play in raising awareness of structural racism?

• And what role can leadership programs play in creating an imperative for taking action to support racial equity?

LLC is inviting all members of the leadership development community to join them in a free introductory webinar on 9/14/09 at 9:30 AM PST.

Note: I recently received this announcement in an e-mail. It seems like a very interesting organization that may prove to be useful to those interested in the field of leadership.
