Professor Clive Holtham from Cass Business School, London, will be visiting on 18-19th October and leading two workshops. Although the expert presentations and materials will be in English, it is expected that most discussion in groups, and presentations, will be in Lithuanian.
Friday
Reflective Journaling for effective leadership
(Arts Innovation and Project Management)
This will involve making and using a physical reflective journal, and a number of activities geared to overcoming the barriers to leadership reflection and ensuring effective use of a reflective journal. It will draw directly on experience on coaching and advising leaders on how to reflect more effectively through regular use of a journal.
Saturday
Image, metaphor and innovation for leadership
(Strategic Arts Organization Management)
Rather than a series of lectures, this workshop will primarily involve a series of inter-related group and individual activities invented or evolved at the Cass Business School for leadership development, with a particular emphasis on art-based methods. The activities will help to “unfreeze” participants from conventional 20th century management thinking, towards the increasing challenges of 21st century leadership.
