Hub Leadership Development Institute

About the Program

Executive leaders of nonprofit organizations are often asked to assume senior leadership roles without having had an opportunity to develop a full mastery of the competencies crucial to succeeding as intentional, innovative, and inspiring leaders. This program will bring together a peer-based cohort of highly experienced directors of northern New Mexico nonprofits to:

• Participate in quarterly cohort “leadership labs”facilitated by Daniel Silverman MD MPA, a senior executive leadership coach
• Complete and debrief the TriMetrix ® Leadership and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode ® assessments of their current leadership styles, behavioral preferences and opportunities to grow and excel as an executive leader
• Receive monthly one-on-one customized Coaching Sessions with Dr. Silverman designed to identify, define, and master behavioral goals and competencies foundational to skillful leadership, effective communication, and team building

Individual and group sessions will emphasize mastering or refining key behaviors needed to be a great leader including:

• Building greater Emotional Intelligence (self and other awareness) as a leader
• Developing a values-based, Personal Leadership Philosophy
• Leading to create a sense of Psychological Safety in Teams
• Learning how to use power and influence to achieve coordinated results in organizations
• Moving from Transactional Leadership to Transformational Leadership
• Conducting “crucial conversations” with direct reports, peers, and supervisors
• Mastering the management of conflict within teams and organizations
• Managing organizational change in challenging times
