The AKRI Leadership Institute in the Group Relations Tradition:
Authority in Transition
41st National Conference. June 18-25, 2005
<http://www.uvm.edu/%7Emkessler/akrice/leadership/li2005.html>



Primary Task of the Leadership Institute


...to experience, study, practice, and reflect on the emergence of
leadership and the exercise of authority in groups. Through the development
of a temporary institution, we will seek to learn about the interplay of
complexities within     ourselves, within our relationships, and within the
organizational systems in
which we live, work and love.





Introduction: What We Offer


The Leadership Institute offers opportunities to:

*       discover your characteristic and unique ways of leading
*       determine your responses to the leadership of others
*       experiment in the moment with new leadership skills

Our particular approach to leadership learning is through the Group
Relations perspective, which is characterized by the study of:

*       Authority: What happens when groups give power to me?
*       Role: How do I typically take up the tasks I'm given?
*       Task: How do we determine the true work of the group?
*       Boundaries: How do we manage our time, tasks and territory?
*       Unconscious Motivations: What remains hidden from view?
*       Group Focus: What is going on between the group and me?
