Správné použití síly

with Dr. Cedar Barstow and hosted by Susan Skjei

This program is based on Dr. Cedar Barstow’s book, Správné použití síly: Srdce etiky—Průvodce a zdroj pro profesionální vztahy, a školicí program v angažované etice, který učí čtyři aspekty etického použití moci. In her program, power is defined as “the ability to have an effect, or to have influence.” Good intentions are necessary but not sufficient for using power wisely and well. Power is a big topic and worthy of attention and study by both leaders and students. At the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of the nature of power and the dynamics involved in relationships where there is a power difference. You will also have an understanding of your personal power style and impact. You will learn skills like offering healthy and useful feedback, reducing shame, and resolving and repairing relationship conflicts. You will grow your power-wisdom.

There are other factors that need to be understood to be prepared to use power rightly. These factors include shame and cognitive strategies that interfere with accountability, fight/flight/freeze responses, influence of non-ordinary states, transference, difference between intention and impact, inadequate self-care, unskillfulness, cultural or contextual differences, negative brain effects of elevated role power, and special issues for spiritual leaders. Eight modules will cover these factors. The program will begin February 15 and end June 16, and you will have continued access to the course material indefinitely.
