Certificate Course: Leadership After 2020
Course Description:
How then shall we lead? Leadership after 2020
2020 brought disruptions unprecedented and unimagined. The COVID pandemic, a deeper calling to the work of reckoning and reparations after the murder of George Floyd, and new climate degradation and catastrophes. Communities of faith and those who lead these communities face increased challenges and diminished resources. What does this new, ever-changing “new normal” look like, and how can we respond with faith, hope, and love?
We will look at four core areas of disruption:
- changing context,
- changing technology,
- changing relationships,
- changing mission.
Participants will use the Disruption Analysis Tool (DAT) to gain insights into what’s next for their community and leadership.
Walker Leadership Institute’s founding director, Steve Lawler, MDiv, MBA is the convenor of this LIFE workshop.
