COURSE CONTENT

STRENGTH-BASED LEADERSHIP

Strength-based leadership is a dramatic departure from previous theories and practices and is rapidly spreading in use and influence.  Universities such as Stanford, USC, Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania have adopted this leadership model along with several California law enforcement agencies.   Dr. Whisenand is one of a handful of authorities on the application of strength-based leadership techniques and principles.

This three-day course will provide a focused and comprehensive approach to this topic as well as provide students with practical tools for application in the workplace.  Unlike a lecture or power point presentation, highly interactive exercises will require the active involvement of the entire class.   To be covered in detail are the following seven signature strengths:

• CHARACTER
• ​CLARITY
• EMPOWERMENT
• ENGAGEMENT
• WELL-BEING
• SELF-CONTROL
• DELIVERY STYLE*

*Each student will receive an individual analysis of their unique “delivery style” by means of two powerful awareness scales, the LIFO and FIRO-B.  Dr. Whisenand is licensed to administer these scales, which will provide each individual with a thorough understanding of their individual leadership strengths.    This is a unique component of a leadership course and the first to be offered by PMW Associates.
