Description
In this accessible and engaging eight-part program led by the co-creator of the Host Leadership approach, Dr Mark McKergow you will discover how to lead in a much more natural and human-centred approach.
Host Leadership is a hugely accessible leadership model, as it is both deeply human, with the roots of being a host going back to the dawn of mankind and society, and drawing, as it does, on hosting habits that are already very familiar to us all.
The course is presented by Dr Mark McKergow, the co-creator and author of the Host Leadership approach and book.
"Mark is a leader in his field, and he is an extremely passionate and inspiring teacher and facilitator. We recommend him very highly to inspire your organization”. Henrik Rasmussen CEO and Hans Christian Nielsen Head of HR and Administration, Roskilde Festival (the largest music festival in Northern Europe)
In this program Mark leads us through the Host Leadership thinking model and allows us to put things we know intuitively into practice intentionally.
You will explore the background to the metaphor and model of Host Leadership, and take a deeper dive into the Six Roles and Four Positions of the framework. Mark illustrates the course with stories from Abraham to Queen Victoria, Nelson Mandela and Mick Jagger as well as current leadership thinkers.
At the heart of the process is the ability to know when to step forward and guide, support and instruct and when to step back and allow others to have agency and space to be productive.
Host Leadership is loved by many:
“A genuinely new view of leadership – practical and profound” - Jack Canfield, Author of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'
“Host brings together many practical leadership strategies to draw people together - effective both in the Board room and on Mount Everest.” Sir Chris Bonington, mountaineer and author
"A great mix of research, philosophy, stories and insight into what real leadership is about." Mike Brent, Professor of Leadership Practice, Ashridge Business School
"I find the concept of leader as host, presented in this book, to be a very practical and balanced way to think about leadership. Host is very helpful in breaking-down daunting situations into manageable parts, which then reveals constructive next steps. Indeed, there were a couple of times while reading it where I stopped to perform a small step or send an invitation inspired by the insight gained from the book." Daniel McCoy, Technical Director, Pixar Inc.
