How can leadership development facilitate organization development in an era of complexity, turbulence, and ambiguity? Dialogic and other forms of leadership development focus on mindsets, framings, and ways of knowing in preference to (or alongside) more traditional notions of skills. We are convening a diverse array of scholars and practitioners to explore the challenges and opportunities inherent in contemporary approaches to LD and ODC.
The PDW will provide a forum for dialogue around three main questions. First, how do LD facilitators go about their work when operating in a dialogic mindset? What kinds of meanings and framings are involved? Two, how should we think about the links between LD and the creation of more change-adept organizations? And three, how do facilitators evaluate the impact of their efforts? What does meaningful evaluation look like, when the target of change is meaning-making, emergence, generativity?
The PDW will engage participants in three segments. First, we collectively will connect and identify some key issues facing participants in their work. Second, a diverse set of presenters will share personal perspectives on the questions above. Third, we will focus and deepen our collective conversation on issues of interest to participants.
Our goal is that participants will leave the PDW with expanded knowledge of contemporary meaning-focused LD, concrete ideas to address challenges in their own practice, new research directions, and connections to other scholar-practitioners working in this important arena.
We hope to see you in Anaheim!
