The CSAC Institute for Excellence in County Government announces
its second series of FREE webinars this
July. The webinars will focus on three different aspects of
management in these times, offering specific practices managers
and executives can immediately put to work.
Adaptive Leadership in the New Normal
July 16, 2020 • 3:00 PM
Instructor: Dr. Frank Benest
Change is accelerating for local government leaders. More
than ever, local government agencies need adaptive leaders who
can help their teams and organizations navigate a messy and
uncertain world. This webinar explores:
The new normal
The nature of adaptive leadership
Approaches for exerting adaptive leadership
Smart risk-taking
Living and Leading in Chaotic Times
July 23, 2020 • 3:00 PM
Instructor: Dr. Larry Liberty
This session shows participants how to process their emotions,
experiences and reactions generated by this global pandemonium.
Participants explore the tools and best practices to increase
calm and centeredness in the face of chaos and frenzy. The
session includes experiential processes that quickly connect to
our current mental and emotional experiences. The key practices
focus on how to interact effectively with those you work with,
especially in times of chaos and isolation.
Beyond Survival and Being Human
July 30, 2020 • 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Instructors: Dr. Laree Kiely and Dr. Rich Callahan
The significant uncertainty in counties calls for a combination
of what Laurence Gonzeles describes as deep survival skills
coupled with connecting to deeply human values. We are, at the
very least, human beings being human. That isn’t as simple as it
sounds. This session will suggest best practices for “Deep
Survival”, moving to the concept of being “Antifragile” while
staying authentic to our personal values and unique selves.
As humans, we can build more self-trust and genuine personal
strength. As managers, we can help others show up strong.
As leaders, we can connect with others on core values. We
will share current and relevant knowledge and tools for going
beyond merely surviving to thriving even in the middle of global
pandemics, civil protest and pervasive uncertainty.
