Workshop Description:

This Leadership workshop is offered in the Group Relations tradition which is a unique opportunity to study the conscious and unconscious dynamics involved in how groups organize themselves and interact with each other within a larger socio-political context.  This is not a passive learning event that relies upon lectures. Instead, the learning about how leadership, followership, authority, task, boundaries, and roles operate within and between groups is experiential.

The two-day workshop will allow participants to form work groups and explore how dynamics within and between groups relate to Boundaries, Authority, Roles and Task (BART). Consultants will be available to support participants in their learning, reviewing dynamics, roles and application of learning throughout the workshop.

Objectives for “Exploring liberatory leadership: Boundaries, Authority, Roles, and Task (BART)”

Educational leaders will be able to:

            analyze the interplay of authority, identity, and relationships in leadership;

• surface and address issues related to identity and positionality in their work;
• examine issues of trust and hierarchy so that all participants can fully engage;
• brainstorm systems of program feedback that inform their community of practice offerings;
• distinguish between individual and group processes;
• demonstrate new skills in group decision making, roles and norms, communication networks, group goals, conflict management and group development.
