Leading for Equity: Now & Beyond the Times 101
Leading for Equity: Now & Beyond the Times 101
In transforming organizations, leaders must employ research-based approaches that fuel a leader’s way of thinking that becomes evident in the leader’s ability to actualize theory for everyday action.
This requires that leaders exhibit cognitively and behaviorally agile attributes that:
1. Enhance a leader’s understanding of effective research-based leadership theories and strategies
2. Facilitate a leader’s ability to transfer that understanding of theory for practical application
The Unorthodox Leadership Way 101 is designed to cultivate in leaders, attributes that characterize successful leadership. Leaders will better understand their roles and explore how leader thinking and action impacts employee engagement and cooperation.
A leader’s ability to recognize the need for and execute specific actions is grounded in the cultivation of an agile mindset that enhances one’s awareness of the impact and influence agile thinking and action has on eliciting positive outcomes for those they serve.
With this in mind, leader effectiveness as a catalyst for organizational success is prioritized by focusing on specific leader actions proven to effect change and influence the accomplishment or attainment of the organization’s goals.
Through deep discussion, reflective thinking and activities, participants will:
- Self-assess and examine individual leader mindset relative to leader agility and readiness to lead change and influence for outcome
- Explore and identify primary characteristics of proven and effective leadership
- Recognize and explore the observable attributes of effective leadership in action and understand how leader actions influence overall effectiveness and outputs
- Explore practical and actionable strategies for taking theory to practice
- Develop an action plan that targets self-improvement and actionable goals that considers how new learning will impact future practice through improved leader actions

Leading for Equity: Now & Beyond the Times 101
The events of year-2020, have cemented themselves in history alongside monumental moments like 1964, for equity and race relations across the United States and the world. While the long-term law and policy impact of 2020 is yet to be seen, it remains unfortunate that despite years of conversation and discussion involving these issues, our society is still plagued by what seem to be unresolved issues around equity and race relations. The potential influence of the 2020 events rests in the hands of leaders across industries that serve our society today to create lasting impact that can move us beyond this dysfunctional cycle.
To make strides in this arena, leaders must be able to:
1. Examine root causes and facilitate honest, safe, and open conversations
2. Examine honestly our current state as influenced by the lens of each individual
3. Facilitate our abilities to focus on the current and the future by avoiding the mistakes of the past and utilizing lessons learned to drive change
Leading Equity: Now and Beyond “The Times”, is designed to prepare leaders, influencers, and members of our organizations in their roles to ensure organizational practices that support equity and access for all. The adage, “we can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results” is true also relative to issues of equity.
Through delving into these areas, leaders will be equipped to avoid the pitfalls that are responsible for keeping us in this cycle and will be able to:
- Examine the lens from which they lead and understand the impact of leader actions on promoting and insisting on equitable practices
- Examine root-cause and history that contributes to current state, and explore pivotal moments and decisions on the journey to year 2020 and beyond
- Examine and avoid biases; individual and organizational, that contribute to propagating inequitable practices
- Understand and be provided strategies to encourage and promote empathy as a tool for addressing biases and improve race relations
- Develop an action plan specific to their organization with equity as a priority
