Annual Summer Institute
June 6-12, 2010
Mount Saint Vincent University
Halifax, Nova Scotia

The five-day leadership program takes you into the "innovation zone"—the zone between too much open-ended process and too much command-and-control; the zone of creativity, collaboration, and accountability in environments of complexity. Learn with masters, boost your authentic leadership presence and skills, and leave with your own maps and methods for shifting your workplace culture or multi-stakeholder project into a more engaged and productive zone.

This program includes in-depth skill-building tracks led by the founders of emerging new leadership fields. Faculty include Glenda Eoyang (scientific advisor, Plexus Institute), Adam Kahane (author, Solving Tough Problems), Art Kleiner (editor in chief, strategy+business magazine) Barry Oshry (author, Power and Systems), Wendy Palmer (author, The Intuitive Body), C. Otto Scharmer (author, Theory U), Bill Torbert (author, Action Inquiry), and Margaret Wheatley (author, Leadership and the New Science). The program also includes mindfulness, creative process, and plenary keynotes and dialogues.

Register on or before March 2nd and save $290 off the full fee. Team and non-profit discounts also available.
