Courageous Followership in Support of VCE's Mission

VCE has an ambitious mission, and its fulfillment requires active engagement of all VCE personnel. Courageous Followership offers a new model for the follower role that provides dynamic support for leaders but does not hesitate to constructively question or challenge directives that conflict with the common purpose. Similarly, the concept of Intelligent Disobedience provides guidance for conscious decision-making when faced with an order than may be inappropriate, particularly considering issues that may be in the "blind spot" of a leaders view. This workshop will be an introduction to these complementary frameworks, as well as related resources for effective collaboration among VCE professionals in pursuit of the organizational mission.
