Register now for the April 24th  
Executive Leadership Education Program.
Session Two:  Discovering Authentic Leadership

During this session, the fellows focused on exploring their personal values to develop or recognize their moral compass and self-reflective leadership practices.  The fellows began to understand social styles and crucibles of leadership in order to find a leadership voice and the confidence to transform organizations.

The fellows spent the first day of their session at the Mercy by the Sea retreat center and then visited LeadingAge Connecticut member Tower One/Tower East in New Haven for the second day.  Thank you to Mark Garilli and the entire staff and residents of Tower One/Tower East for your hospitality!

  


Personal Mission, Vision and Values

The Leadership Academy fellows began to explore how their personal mission, vision and values have influenced their life journey.  Concepts like crucible moments which are experiences that test leaders to their limits were introduced and how the fellow handled their crucible moment was reflected upon.  

Crucible moments can be triggered by events such as confronting a difficult situation at work, receiving critical feedback or personal experiences such as divorce, illness or death of a loved one.  From these reflections, fellows created their own mandala to represent their own personal mission, vision and values.

This is a critical ethical issue that has emerged in the transition of our aging services field.

A careful analysis of a pragmatic approach to identifying, analyzing and resolving clinical ethics issues. Through case analysis, attendees will study issues of autonomy, paternalism and the management of conflicts among providers, recipients of care and family members .

Dr. Michael Gillette is a bioethicist who has conducted numerous programs for healthcare organizations nationally and internationally. His interactive style engages his audiences and helps them think critically about ethical decisions in their work and beyond.
