Every leader is in a constant search for energy—human energy. In an organization or community, energy goes by many names: commitment, high performance, excitement, motivation, morale, loyalty, trust. Regardless of the name, high, sustained energy is always a source of success. Anyone in charge can temporarily create energy through fear, competition, or self-interest. Leaders with “energetic intelligence,” however, understand how to create energy that is sustained. This workshop offers a proven method to unleash this energy by establishing shared leadership in teams, organizations, and communities. Guided by leadership experts Michael Marlowe and Lorri Lizza, we identify and experiment with 11 “natural moves” informed by the use of their Energetic Intelligence method. As we do this, we come to see leadership as energy, not a person; as a verb, not a noun. We also examine: - How to develop your energetic intelligence as a leader
- Alternatives to fear and competition to create energy
- How leaders can share leadership by being in-learning
- Plans to create sustained energy in our communities and organizations that supports growth and healing for everyone
