“We can thrive as leaders by intentionally and deliberately reinventing ourselves, checking our beliefs and placing far greater emphasis on human skills and other select but highly personal leadership qualities” says Rose Patten.

IEDP was delighted to welcome Dr. Rose M. Patten, Chancellor of the University of Toronto to deliver this timely webinar in which she defines intentional leadership and the eight key capabilities of successful leadership.

Dr. Patten who is also Special Advisor to the CEO and Senior Executives at BMO Financial Group and is an Honorary Colonel at the Canadian Armed Forces College, is uniquely qualified to lead this important webinar.

Rose Patten believes we can enhance our leadership practice by shifting our emphasis away from the traditional dimensions of leadership. Mastering the ‘Big 8’ leadership capacities will increase trust in your leadership and inspire every level of your organization, leading to greater performance.

The eight leadership capabilities include intentional leadership, character, adaptability, contextual communication, spirited collaboration, strategic agility, being intentional and developing other leaders.

Leadership is a skill that can be learned, believes Patten, but it requires continuous effort and a willingness to change as your professional and personal context changes. Today our context is uncertain and volatile, making this webinar essential and timely.
