RSVP for The Art and Science of Leadership

LIVE online presentation Sunday February 25, 2018. Join us!

“The Art and Science of Leadership” is one of those catchy titles that could be glossed over as marketing speak, right? “How to be a Leader” is kind of generic, so how do you create a title that is a little sexier, a little more creative, one that has a point of difference?
But for those of you who know me, I choose my words carefully. I deliver what I say I’ll deliver.
I don’t think you can lead without art.
Art is anything you create that captures your own unique point of view. And if you don’t have your own unique point of view, can you really be a leader? If you don’t have your own unique point of view, then you are—sorry to say—a follower. You may be a great follower—you may be a great manager, or someone who solves problems all day long, or can finish any project. But without your own vision, you are not a leader.
And that vision is art.

Science, of course, is a big buzzword today—but it shouldn’t be. Of all the things we take for granted, science should be one of them. Seth Godin wrote one of his brilliant blog posts, on what science actually means. In it he says:
Science is a process. It’s not pretending it has the right answer, it merely has the best process to get closer to that right answer. Science is an ongoing argument, one where you show your work and make a prediction about what’s going to happen next.

You must begin again, from first principles, and make a new argument, and show new work, and make a better prediction.

And that, my friends, is leadership too.

So join us for this journey.
You will learn 7 counterintuitive ways to think about leadership. No single one-hour class can teach a non-leader how to be a leader overnight. But imagine if you could learn a few different frameworks so you could incorporate leadership skill-building into everything you do on a daily basis? That is what you will walk away with.
As with all of our classes at The Good Men Project, we’ll give you big picture frameworks that allow you to think about leadership in a totally new way. But we’ll also give you tangible ideas that you can put on your to-do list and try our right away so that you can start becoming a better leader the moment the class ends.
And for just this class, we will be giving you a copy of the presentation, which is its own little e-book.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.”
– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men
