EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AND THE INNER JOURNEY

Superintendents are leaders who have an unusual degree of power to project on other people his/her “shadow” or his/her “light,”  to create conditions under which other people must “live and move and have their being”—conditions that can be as illuminating as “heaven” or as shadowy as “hell.” Superintendents must take special responsibility for what’s going on inside themselves, inside their consciousness, lest the act of leadership can create more harm than good. This session will take superintendents on an inner journey of “taking stock,” not only of their gifts, but also of their “inward realities” that impact on their districts and the people they are leading.
