Full Circle Leadership
Full Circle Leadership
Share this event
An 4-week online course that will help you foster distributed leadership by providing you and your team with a common vocabulary and framing that will help you unlock everyone's leading power.
Leadership functions differently in collaborative networks without top-down project planning and strictly defined hierarchies.
The Full Circle Leadership framework emerged from extensive practical experience in such environments. In this course you will discover eight types of leadership and their superpowers and shadow sides. You will learn to use the circle to reveal the leadership balance of teams and to use it as a project lifecycle tool that will allow everyone's leadership style to find is place.
It is a tool that's accessible to learn about, yet surprisingly deep when you delve into it. FCL workshops have often inspired participants to build on the model and apply it creative ways to their own contexts.
This course will be led by experienced facilitators who can help guide the next step on your leadership development journey, learning interactively alongside other leaders from diverse backgrounds.
This framework was developed by Alanna Irving, one of the leading practitioners of bossless organising. You can find her foundational readings on the Full Circle Leadership model here:
This course is for you if...
You are at the start or middle of your leadership journey and want a new perspective on how you can grow your leadership capacity
Your team wants to discover how everyone can lead from their strengths.
You are looking for an innovative approach to leadership that is designed for a context of collaborative networks and self-managed organizations.
You want to embody your understanding of the model. All the foundational information is available in the articles linked above. The course is experiential and it supports your self-reflection, learning and exchange with other leaders. Your understanding of the model will be embodied and not only rational and with it you will be able to work with it with your team(s).

- How to supercharge your team's collaborative capacity through understanding different individual leadership styles and overall team leadership balance
- How to develop discipline in bringing projects all the way around the circle to completion, instead of skipping key steps or getting stuck in loops
