A World Gone Horizontal
March Leadership Workshops in Cleveland and Chicago
 The world of leadership studies is riddled with clichés. Sharon Daloz Parks uses none of them. Rather, when the noted author and astute leadership consultant speaks, it is with a freshness that provokes a galvanizing examination of one's existing abilities and untapped potential.
"I really want to underscore that in a vertical world gone horizontal, we all have opportunities to practice leadership from wherever we sit," Parks said in a recent telephone interview. "In our time we need to be collectively smart as well as strategically smart. As Judy Brown has added, we also need to be spiritually smart."
Read the entire interview.
In March, Parks will lead workshops in Cleveland and Chicago on "Faithful Leadership for the Common Good." The workshops, sponsored by Bexley Hall and Seabury, are open to everyone, including emerging or established leaders, the lay or ordained, and those working inside or out of the institutional church.
These events are sponsored by the Bexley Hall and Seabury Partnership for Lifelong Learning. Learn more and register for the Cleveland event on March 14 and the Chicago event on March 16 and 17.
