This webinar will present a conceptual reorientation in leadership development — memories with momentum — explored through recent empirical research on the use of the arts in leadership development. As a conceptual re-orientation, “memories with momentum” focuses leadership development towards helping participants form future oriented, impactful learning memories that have the potential for growth and expansion. The concept has been developed out of recent empirical research in the use of the arts (from plastic to performative) in leadership development. Drawing upon this research, Sutherland will present a learner centered model of how the arts enable leadership development and a practice oriented view to learning outcomes with a view to long term impacts.
- Discover why and how the arts are valuable in leadership development.
- Learn the role of aesthetics in leadership.
- Explore the design approach of “memories to momentum” in leadership development.
