Authentic Leadership
Who is it for
For working groups, the myth of the Grail Quest becomes the vessel that groups
“sail in”, so it serves its time-honoured role for those teams who are:
- Facing obstacles or wanting to re-group, perhaps pursuing a mutual sense of what they serve in the world
- Recently formed and /or establishing best practice
- In need of a fresh perspective or new impetus after they have been working together for some time.
- Have been negatively impacted by internal disputes or external pressures
- Being presented with new and challenging opportunities
- Wanting time out – seeking a meaningful shared experience
Programme overview
The myth of Parsifal and the Quest for the Grail is our guide to take leaders on a compelling and deep journey of self-discovery and purposeful enquiry. The initial stages of leadership are inevitably concerned with proving oneself and externally validated achievement. Yet, the more mature stages – beyond the hero – are concerned with legacy and service. This shift requires a move away from the transactional place where our necessary ego meets the external world, into self-reflective practice where we can recognise what needs to evolve in ourselves and our organisations.
The key theme is authenticity: the more we are willing and able to be authentic – to act in harmony between our inner and outer voice – the more others are able to trust, support and offer discretionary effort.
