Description
Despite shifts in the way we work and the environments we work in, models of leadership are often very old fashioned. The ideas of leaders needing to impose their vision on others, the "great leader", forcing others to do their will largely came out of military leadership and were popularised by mid 20th Century management consultants.I believe that these are outdated and counter-productive, with many alternative leadership models being much more desirable and effective. This course will show one such model, that of Playful Leadership, encouraging playfulness in others.It is set in the context of definitions around play, playfulness and games. It gives some key benefits from the academic literature on playfulness and play within organisations and the workplace. We discuss some other leadership models that are sympathetic to play and playfulness, but which don't centre play explicitly. The core principles of Playful Leadership are discussed, to give participants enough knowledge to start reflecting upon their own practice, whether this approach may be appropriate for them, and to start thinking about how they can become a more playful leader.The course largely consists of short videos, but the nature of leadership development is (inter)active and requires discussion, reflection and support. As such, this is a basic introduction to Playful Leadership, something to start people along their journey, so we ask people at the end to reflect how they can carry on along this journey and the support that they may be able to identify.
