The context of leadership has changed. Traditionally, leaders worked in organizations in which people largely shared a common culture and set of values. Today, leaders must bring together groups of people with very different histories, perspectives, values and cultures. Your understanding of social identity-both your own and that of others-is critically important in today's workplace. Social identity comprises the parts of a person's identity that come from belonging to particular groups, including age, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and socioeconomic status. Your social identity informs how you lead.
In this session you will:
- Learn about social identity and its importance in organizations
- Gain deeper awareness of your identity by completing an identity map
- Increase your ability to be open to different perspectives and challenge assumptions
- Learn strategies to address social identity differences in organizations
Maximizing the Value of the Webinar
- Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
- Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
- Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
