Description

Across the Public Service, human-centred leadership is being adopted as the standard in leadership mindsets and behaviours. A human-centred leadership approach recognizes that people are an organization’s most precious resource – that putting people first is the most effective way to achieve the desired organizational results and deliver on our priorities.

This course is an opportunity for Global Affairs Canada leaders to step out of the day-to-day operations and reflect on their own leadership practices and performance, to strengthen the mindsets and behaviours needed to transform the Department’s culture and workplace as we continue to reach for the North Star and to consider how to apply and integrate human-centred leadership back into their own workplace changes, challenges and teams.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• build a common vision for leadership at Global Affairs Canada
• employ human-centred leadership within their team by practicing self-reflection, perspective taking and team development and by promoting resilience and health and wellbeing within their team
• adopt an inclusive and empathetic approach to guiding employees through change

Note: Participants must complete pre-course readings before the session.
