Learning Pillar Wisdom-Based Leadership
Rigor Level Medium
Welcome to Courageous Collaboration, a course designed to empower rising faith leaders and mission-driven professionals like you. In a world that often celebrates “shallow individualism,” leadership can easily become isolated and detached. However, effective leadership, especially within faith and mission-focused organizations, requires a deeper, more connected approach—one that prioritizes collective wisdom, shared vision, and mutual trust.
This training will help you move beyond the pitfalls of leading in isolation and equip you with the tools to embrace courageous collaboration. Through case studies, guided reflections, and the development of personalized tools, you’ll be able to apply these insights directly to your own leadership context. By engaging fully with your team and community, you will not only experience personal growth as a leader but also foster a healthier, more united environment.
This type of leadership strengthens your team, increases their capacity to fulfill your shared mission, and enhances the lasting impact you aim to have in the world. Join us as we explore the principles and practices of Wisdom-Based Leadership and discover how courageous collaboration can elevate your leadership and magnify your mission.
