| Session Type: Panel Discussion Accepted by MIG(s): Development, Business Time Allotted: 60 Description: This panel will demonstrate that leadership competences and visible leadership behaviors are manifestations of deeper capabilities, specifically invisible dimensions of adult development over the human life time. We will present a conceptual framework within which these capabilities can be identified, measured, and given feedback on, with practical application in the areas of leadership selection and development. Invisible Dimensions of Leadership: The cultural challenge to leadership in global multicultural organizations Description: Like human individuals, cultures -- whether national or corporate -- evolve in developmental stages, and reflect the developmental level of the people who constitute them. One of the great challenges to leadership today in global companies with multicultural work forces is to monitor and manage the culture of the organization. The process can be greatly assisted through the developmental assessment of the leadership team with follow-up process consultation by experts trained in CDF. Douglas Stuart, IOR Global Services Invisible Dimensions of Leadership: Leaders as sponsors of organizational change Description: The second presenter will reveal a complex and unique role of a sponsor of organizational change. This role is often neglected in scholarly and practitioners literature, or enmeshed with the role of a change agent or a champion of change. Yet, sponsorship capability is one of the most important variables in implementing organizational change. This presentation will explore limitations of behaviorally-based leadership assessments in predicting sponsors’ performance, and illustrate how the CDF methodology can be used as a practical tool for selection, development, and ongoing support of leaders as sponsors of change. Iva Vurdelja, Antioch University, Ph.D. in Leadership and Change
Invisible Dimensions of Leadership: The impact of a developmental perspective in executive coaching Description: A large number of executive coaches today claim that in addition to helping clients achieve their goals, they also help them reach their full potential. However, is this really possible for coaches unless they have clear evidence of where developmentally their clients are at the present time and what is their own developmental level? If executive coaching tools are limited to 360 feedback and Myers Briggs Inventory (widely embraced by corporations), then we are merely measuring our clients’ current behaviors, not even our clients current potential, let alone getting a glimpse of their developmental potential or ways to reach it. The Constructive Developmental Framework (CDF) opens up the new depths of understanding individuals’ Frame of Reference, acquiring full insight into the person’s current and potential ability to make meaning of self and others, make sense of the world around him/her, and consequently take deliberate actions towards achieving his/her potential.Dina Zavrski-Makaric, Challenging Directions Chair: Douglas Stuart, IOR Global Services View Complete Session Information, including abstracts & bios when available |

| Session Type: Panel Discussion Accepted by MIG(s): Business Time Allotted: 90 Description: Much of board leadership is seen as failing in the current global financial crisis. No one board leadership model prevails. Alternative models of board leadership are presented by
panel members including integrated transformation, inclusion, partnership approach, ethics underlying outcomes, and transcendent leadership with board metrics for profits, people, and planet.
“Transcendent Leadership: Board Metrics for Profits, People, and Planet.” Description: Higher levels of trust and collaboration by board members are essential for future growth and development of global corporations.

Transforming board leadership through a partnership approach Description: Essential elements of any leadership equation include a sense of ownership of and engagement with ‘a purpose’ together with the support of followership. So how do we bring these elements together effectively in contemporary public organizations and their boards? This session proposes that shared leadership and ownership via a partnership model may offer some valuable and potentially transformative lessons.Annie Pye, University of Exeter “Transforming Board Leadership: The Challenge and Opportunity of Inclusion” Description: During this time of major change and economic crisis in our global society, inclusive leadership becomes even more critical. It has been well documented in both research and practice that diversity and inclusion are important factors for organizational performance. Yet, C-suite and board leadership all too often do not represent the racial, ethnic, and gender mix of the consumers and people that they serve. As population demographics become increasingly diverse globally, so must the demographics of board leadership. Transformational models of board leadership need to be inclusive to optimize effectiveness. This presentation will describe challenges and opportunities associated with developing diverse and inclusive board leadership across multiple sectors.

| Session Type: Paper Presentations Accepted by MIG(s): Scholarship, Education Time Allotted: 75 Description: This panel probes Ronald Heifetz’s concept of adaptive work from several distinct disciplinary perspectives. It adds dimensions to the concept and explores its neglected elements. The panel will apply Heifetz's work to outline Type IV leadership; describe identifying and managing the "undiscussables" of a group; outline a theory of pastoral leadership; and suggest the adaptive work of engendering leadership practice. A Theory of Type IV Leadership Description: We know some of the factors that influence decision makers to make adaptive challenges into technical work. This paper begins to examine the leadership scenario in which decision makers choose a certain solution to an unclear problem and the factors that contribute to this avoidance of adaptive challenges by ignoring them. Richard Couto, Burns Academy and The Union Institute A Theology of Adaptive Work Description: Starting with Heifetz’s idea that leadership at its core is about a relationship of shared values moving an organization towards behavioral and attitudinal change, the paper argues for a theory of pastoral leadership and change firmly rooted in the theology of the church. Rupert Loyd, Jr., Mayfair/Plymouth Church
Engendering Adaptive Work Description: This paper discusses Engendering Adaptive Work, highlighting feminist perspectives in two key areas, 1) the gendered values women leaders bring to the enterprise of adaptive work, and 2) the dual challenge of adaptive work for women leaders, leadership legitimation and simultaneous attention to complex adaptive challenges facing the organization.Bernice Ledbetter, Pepperdine University Discussing Undiscussables: Exercising Adaptive Leadership with Wisdom and Courage Description: This paper explores the expansion of Heifetz’s notion of adaptive leadership adding the underlying elements of wisdom and courage, missing from his framework and places it in the context of managing undiscussables in the workplace. Undiscussables are open secrets, prevalent in most organizations,which play havoc with workplace effectiveness.Linda Klonsky, Fielding Graduate University Chair: Richard Couto, Burns Academy and The Union Institute View Complete Session Information, including abstracts & bios when available |
