The Art and Danger of Adaptive Leadership
An online continuing education course
Leading effectively and inclusively in today’s increasingly polarized world requires both head and heart. Building your team’s — and your — ability to adapt to unforeseen realities also requires you to hold steady during periods of intense change. This course uses an adaptive leadership framework to strengthen your ability to tackle complex problems in your professional and personal worlds. Adaptive leadership is a critical tool and skill set for those looking to drive systemic change while being accountable to their own values and goals.
Participants will engage in public learning to test the adaptive diagnostic process together. Public learning is a collaborative process where we use the class itself as a case study, paying attention to how authority and leadership are alive in the classroom, and using classroom engagement itself as a testing ground for these new leadership approaches.

Lougheed College Lectures sponsored by Syncrude
The Lougheed College Lectures will return in Fall 2021 following the theme of leadership skills for an altered present. The 2020-21 series was recorded and is publicly available on our Lecture Archive alongside sessions from previous seasons.
In the most recent presentation, Dr. Deena Hinshaw reflected on her experience of leadership in the COVID-19 pandemic and the ways that she has, in her role, intersected with the leaders who serve their communities every day. This event was co-hosted with the School of Public Health on April 15, 2021.

I really appreciate the constant support from the peers, mentors, and staff within the PLLC. The constant and purposeful learning in and out of the classroom is unparalleled to any learning I have experienced before.
