About this Event
The Unleadership Movement is a growing collaboration of practitioners and scholars from public, private and voluntary sectors reflecting upon leaderly practices.
Covid-19 has brought unprecedented disruption to our lives and workplaces. The leaderly acts that have emerged have often been from unexpected places and have achieved outcomes that inspired us – be that walking laps of the garden, making scrubs or reinventing a business to help feed families in need. A group of researchers at UWE have examined and described these acts and practices as ‘unleadership’.
Carol Jarvis, Hugo Gaggiotti, Kay Galpin and Selen Kars-Unluoglu believe that leaderly practice can be characterised by paying forward kindness, accepting imperfection and embracing the unknown, taking action at the right time and collaborating with others. Those who consider themselves unleaders make the best contribution they can, with the resources available to them at the time, being driven to act by their sense of purpose.
Join this free workshop to explore the concept of unleadership through thinking about, sharing and reflecting upon leaderly practices. How can communities and organisations can tap into their latent leadership potential? How can we collaborate, reflect upon and be inspired by the leaderly actions of others? And what are the co-creating innovations that continue to develop the ideas and practices of unleadership?
This is an opportunity to discover and explore possibilities and opportunities for the future, for ourselves, our organisations and our communities. You don’t have to be working in a formal management role – we welcome everybody who is taking action on something they are passionate about, be that in an organisation, a small enterprise, or a community group.
Stories, experiences and practices will be shared through a mixture of facilitated discussions and group exercises, and the day will introduce ideas to help everyone to reflect upon leaderly practice differently.
Join us to begin the conversation about how we can practice unleadership and lead differently.
