Leadership Development 

DATE:         Wednesday, 16th October 2019
TIME:          1pm to 5.30pm (lunch provided at 12.30pm)
VENUE:      Clare Education Centre

This Workshop is suitable for all school leaders and post holders at Primary and Post Primary.

Workshop outline
School leadership is a hugely demanding job with on-going change a fact of everyday life. People in leadership are conscious of huge expectations on them and searching for ways to manage stress and share the burden of leadership.

We are also in a transition period as we move from hierarchical models to more participative, collaborative, team-based models that enable, empower and develop people. 

In this workshop, we want to look at a practical framework for thinking about how we can be effective around change, at how we can handle conflict and some of the destructive dynamics around leaders, and at ways to survive and stay in good shape as leaders.

Bio
Dr Seán Ruth is an Organisational Psychologist and author of the ground-breaking book, Leadership and Liberation: A Psychological Approach, 2006.

Since 1992 he has run his own training and development business and specialises in the areas of:

• Leadership Development
• Conflict Resolution
• Oppression and Liberation

He also works as a facilitator of leadership/management teams, work-based teams, project committees and union-management groups and has designed and run a number of facilitator training programmes.

The model that he uses views leadership as a natural human ability that anyone has the potential to develop and use. From this perspective, leadership is a collaborative, non-hierarchical, two-way process of influence between leaders and those around them.
