The hope of Leadership and Learning Pathways (LLP) is that the understanding and adoption of leadership and shared learning will contribute to the building of more sustainable and equitable social and organizational cultures that will help to make life less stressful and much more productive and satisfying.
Over the past two decades LLP has continued its research relating to leadership and its exercise regarding social, educational and organizational development. The result being that LLP’s understanding of leadership and learning has evolved to the extent that it now has diverged significantly from the present orthodoxy espoused by schools of leadership, business schools, organizational consultancies, the media etc.
The structures that still exist throughout much of the educational, as well as the social, organizational and business environments, are not receptive to the changes that a more coherent, realistic understanding and adoption of leadership demands. It seems that the concept of equal distribution of power and decision-making are not yet generally welcomed by our existing power structures.
The overall purpose of Leadership and Learning Pathways is to advance the idea that together people can change things for the better.
At present Leadership and Learning Pathways is building a series of short and concise team, organizational and social developmental programmes with the aim of helping those responsible for overall and sustainable success.
The areas of interest include ‘the understanding and characteristics of leadership’, ‘team-building and team management’, ‘goal attainment’; ‘decision making’; ‘the meaning and operation of the learning environment’; ‘change and change strategies that work’; ‘conflict resolution’; etc.
