- Class Description:
- This 4-day skills-based course will introduce participants to select integrative leadership strategies useful in addressing global grand challenges. Specifically, we will focus on leadership practices that foster collective action across diverse groups of people, including: 1. Hosting dialogue, debate and deliberation; 2. Mapping polarities and balancing paradox 3. Designing inclusive decision-making processes; Not surprisingly, grand challenges often emerge at the convergence of systems, sectors, or global institutions. For example, the grand challenges at the convergence of human health, animal health, economic development and environmental change include such issues as global food security, emerging infectious diseases, climate change, antimicrobial use and the control of catastrophic animal diseases with significant adverse effects on global economies. The course culminates on Thursday, January 17th with an opportunity for participants to apply key leadership skills in a public setting with multi-sector stakeholders. Students will serve as co-hosts along with course instructors for a day-long professional forum to address a contemporary food security grand challenge that is also a paradoxical dilemma conducive to polarity mapping: balancing animal well-being and agricultural worker safety. This Finding Common Ground Forum is hosted by the University of Minnesotas Center for Integrative Leadership (CIL) and the Global Initiative for Food Systems Leadership (GIFSL). Following the Forum, students will meet for dinner, a Forum de-brief, and discussion of course follow-up assignments (which will be completed on-line).
