The purpose of this course is to explore the human sources of natural leadership. Leadership is both deeply personal and inherently collective. At its essence it concerns the capacity of a human community to shape its destiny and, in particular, to bring forth new realities in line with people's deepest aspirations. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of how they can facilitate change, both within their organizations and their personal lives. This program goes deeply into the domains of personal mastery, collaborative inquiry, and the systems perspective applied to sustaining pro-found change. Much of the learning occurs through the interaction between participants.
This program originated in 1978 as an offering through Innovation Associates and was conceived by Charlie Kiefer, Robert Fritz and Peter Senge as a three-day leadership program then titled "Leadership and Mastery." This course was the origin of The Fifth Discipline.

Anticipated Learning
The Foundations for Leadership workshop places a strong emphasis on the core learning competency of a creative orientation and the discipline of personal mastery.
Participants spend significant time developing their personal vision as well as one they desire for their organization. Much of the learning arises through the interplay of personal and interpersonal work. The special contribution of this leadership course comes as people discover the profound connections between personal mastery and systems thinking, seeing that deep change in our social systems and in oneself are inseparable from each other.
