THIS COURSE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY HURON’S FACULTY OF THEOLOGY COMMITTEE FOR THE FALL TERM OF THE LTH PROGRAM, 2024.
This course on Adaptive Leadership will introduce you to a particular practice of leadership that “mobilizes people to tackle tough challenges and thrive.” It builds on the past, connects us to our core values, involves experimentation, values diversity and inclusion of alternative views, and mobilizes the resources already present in the community. It helps us to respond creatively to the challenges that face us today so that we can join in God’s mission with confidence and hope even in the midst of ambiguity and disorientation when the usual ways no longer work.
What You’ll Learn
