4-6 minute Seminar Sample

Presented by Steve Myers

During the last 30 years James MacGregor Burns’ Transformational Leadership has become the most important and widely used leadership model in organisational, political, social and cultural development. Whilst making no assumptions about participants’ prior knowledge of Transformational Leadership, Steve Myers will introduce a distinctive perspective based on C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology which will make this webinar of interest to all levels of experience. The webinar will begin by introducing and examining the concepts of transformation in Burns’ and Jung’s theories. Steve will show why practitioners need to move beyond psychological type to the alchemy of the unconscious in order to transcend the realms of Transactional and Transformational Leadership. He will discuss the unique insights offered by analytical psychology that suggest the use of strategies complementary to those used in mainstream transformational leadership development. He will include practical examples and discuss implications for practitioners in leadership coaching and development.

Objectives:

• To establish a basic understanding of the concepts of transformation in Burns’ and Jung’s theories
• To position psychological type and Jung’s approach to alchemy within the framework of transactional and transformational leadership
• To explore the process of transformation within analytical psychology and how it affects and is affected by relationships between leader and follower(s)
• To identify practical steps that can be taken to promote transformation in individuals and organisations through leadership development

Some attendee comments…

• “The way that Transformational Leadership is linked to Jungian theory on transformation is very creative and leading edge thinking. Helping leaders to understand the connection of the heroes journey through coaching is a great idea!”
• “Through the connection of Transformational Leadership and Jungian theory, Steve has woven together a magical tapestry of knowledge and application.”
