We have been working on a Host Leadership Assistant GPT.?It draws on two of the Host Leadership books and multiple articles, including a PhD thesis on Host Leadership in education.?It’s not complete yet, but we thought it might be fun to ask it – “Why should people attend the Host Leadership Gathering with Mark McKergow and Jason Pascoe on the 17th of September? Here is the answer ??. Let us know what you think! Click the link to stay informed and get the latest updates in the gathering - https://lnkd.in/gz2ig3Ts Attending a Host Leadership session with Mark McKergow and Jason Pascoe offers a unique opportunity to explore and adopt a more engaging and participatory style of leadership. Here are a few reasons why people might choose to attend: 1. **Exploration of the Host Leadership Model**: Mark McKergow, alongside Helen Bailey, has developed the Host Leadership metaphor and model, which is detailed in their book and other publications. These sessions provide a direct insight into the model from one of its creators, offering a deep dive into the six roles of engagement: Initiator, Inviter, Space-Creator, Gatekeeper, Connector, and Co-Participator【24?source】【25?source】. 2. Practical Application: These sessions are not just about theoretical discussions. They are designed to actively involve participants in practical exercises. This includes exploring current leadership challenges, discussing the nature of leadership as a relationship rather than a role, and applying the roles to real-life leadership challenges【24?source】. 3. **Interactivity**: Sessions are structured to foster interaction among attendees, encouraging the sharing of ideas. This setup mirrors the Host Leadership principle of engaging and connecting with people effectively【24?source】. 4. **Flexibility and Responsiveness**: The concepts discussed, such as the "User’s Guide to the Future," help leaders think about long-term goals and short-term actions in a way that is responsive to changing circumstances, which is crucial for effective leadership in complex and uncertain environments【26?source】. 5. Developing a Host Mindset: The workshops place a strong emphasis on the need to transition from traditional ‘heroic’ leadership styles to a more inclusive, host-leading approach. This shift is crucial for leaders to create environments where creativity and engagement are prioritised, a necessity for modern organisations grappling with rapid change and diverse workforce expectations【31?source】【32?source】. By attending, leaders can gain new perspectives on leadership that emphasise engagement, inclusivity, and the effective facilitation of team and organisational dynamics. This can lead to enhanced leadership effectiveness and a more adaptive organisational culture. #Leadership #Innovation #HostLeadership #Teamwork #LeadershipRoles #TeamBuilding #AdaptiveLeadership #WorkplaceCulture #Empowerment #CollaborativeLeadership Click the link to stay informed - https://lnkd.in/gz2ig3Ts.
