However\, the idea of an abundance leadership mentality – or people who believe in seeing the world as resource sufficient and view power as shareable – is a thought model that more and more successful leaders are adopting today. \nAs we find ourselves in a time of unprecedented crises\, there is also an opportunity for us all to examine the underlying paradigms and standard operating procedures that are hurting us as a planet and species. It is a time that calls for radical-move leadership. Radical-move leaders ask\, “How can I get the positive sides of a crisis to stick?” They look for opportunities to model solutions to significant social and environmental challenges such as income and education inequality\, racial injustice\, and our carbon footprint. \nThe leaders in this workshop will come away with… \n\nEncouragement to take risks and make bold decisions on behalf of their organizations\nAn understanding of how to both boldly change their organization and incrementally make bold changes\nA self-awareness of their mental models that drive their leadership style\n\nWho should participate: Leaders of organizations or teams \nParticipation notes: This workshop is highly interactive. While there may be opportunities to have your video off and to mute during the session\, please join from a quiet space where you feel comfortable having your video and microphone on. \nRegistration: This session is being offered by FCCF’s Center for Nonprofit Excellence and is free to attend.
