SUSTAINABILITY CHANGE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
We base our leadership development on a 3Q Model.
IQ (Mental Intelligence): Focusing on the development and application of Critical Thinking Skills in decision making and problem solving.
EQ (Emotional Intelligence): Focusing on improving our understanding of our emotions, and of those we interact with; so we can better control adverse outcomes brought about by conflict.
SQ (Spiritual Intelligence) : Focusing on aligning our core values and beliefs, with our behaviors and decisions. Improves our ability to “do the right thing”, under any circumstances.
LEADING THE CHANGE
Given the continued growth of global social unrest, political divide, and system failures, we need new models of governance and leadership. We must develop and implement new leadership skill sets and methods that will earn the trust and cooperation of the people.
To move the people in the right direction leaders must abandon current models that promote division and inequity. They must demonstrate the ability to take unified (non-partisan) positions, solve problems, and make decisions that are in the interest of the greater good. The application of EQ, SQ and Decision Engineering Techniques would contribute to improved leadership models.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
