#  Q: What is covered in the course component of the Fellowship? 

 



The course component emphasizes inside-out and outside-in approaches to leadership development, and revolves around deep dives into social change case studies. Fellows work to understand both external and internal dynamics that impact this work. The uniqueness of the approach is in moving away from emphases on guilt, blame, conflict avoidance, and self-policing toward galvanizing people to face the difficult challenges that systems produce as people try to achieve more just outcomes. We use the lenses of Adaptive Leadership, Immunity to Change, Emergent Strategy, Critical Theory and Pedagogy, and Adult Development, among others. The course is hands-on and centered on the needs and experiences of Fellows.
