In this session, Harvey Seifter will use the rich tapestry of Prague’s history as a springboard into the roots and meaning of this unique contemporary story of transformational leadership, sharing insights from family stories and theatrical experiences with Havel’s plays, and connecting the lessons of the Velvet Revolution to collaborative leadership techniques he developed during his years as Executive Director of the conductor-less Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

Presenting live from Sydney, Australia, Don Dunoon will look into these and related questions, with practical illustrations of how an approach to leadership centered in learning can help us in gaining traction in with contentious problems – those that can be seen from different perspectives. Don is the author of In the Leadership Mode (Trafford, 2008). The book—described as “groundbreaking” in the January 2009 edition of Integral Leadership Review—proposes a view of leadership emphasizing interventions, made at points in time, toward change. These “leadership-mode” interventions are distinguished from others in the “management mode.” The book introduces a set of five practices and tools (ARIES—attending, reflecting, inquiring, expressing, and synthesizing) for intervening with contentious problems from a learning-leadership standpoint. In this webinar, Don draws on a practical case example—concerning the efforts of a golf-club treasurer to engage his fellow directors with financial difficulties facing the club—to illustrate the differences between leadership- and management-mode action. Participants will have opportunities to contribute by registering questions and comments at intervals during the presentation.To register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/765239363 21 Apr 2009 14:11:18 EDT http://ila-net.org/Webinars/index.htm#DDunoon CDBC5DsertGFHFGA4-12sxdsE8-4D33-BC6B-9CEE7DF106AA Why do leaders break the moral rules? According to common wisdom, rule-breaking behavior is the result of selfishness. Leaders behave immorally because they think they can get away with it. But an alternative view suggests that leadership affects the way leaders think about themselves and their place in the moral community. According to this view, leaders sometimes know that their behavior is prohibited by morality and, yet, believe that the prohibition does not apply in their situation. In other words, leaders can come to believe that they are justified in breaking the rules.For more details: http://ila-net.org/Webinars/index.htm#TPrice and To register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/430397505 . 10 Mar 2009 14:11:18 EDT http://ila-net.org/Webinars/index.htm CDBC5DsderGFHFGA4-12sxdsE8-4D33-BC6B-9CEE7DF106AA Brigadier General Edward Cardon, deputy commanding general for leadership and education at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and veteran of multiple combat tours in Iraq, will give his perspectives on leader development during a one-hour Webinar.
