Overview
What you will study
The Leadership, Organizing and Action - Leading Change program offered by Harvard University explores how leadership is exercised using public narrative, building relationships, structuring leadership teams, strategizing, and action. Participants will experience engaging live lectures, readings, discussions, reflection exercises, and take part in an organizing project.
Your own critical analysis of your capacity to lead an organizing project is a key part of this program. An organizing project requires (a) mobilizing a constituency to (b) collaborate with each other to (c) achieve a real change. You and your peers will learn why this approach is the most effective in addressing problems of power. You'll also learn the value of enabling people to mobilize the power/resources they need to solve their problems.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Enable others to achieve shared purpose under conditions of uncertainty.
- Develop leadership, build community around that leadership and turn resources of that community into the power to achieve change.
- Develop your public narrative: story of self, story of us, story of now.
- Learn the difference between organizing and mobilizing and why it takes organizing to create real change.
