As higher ed moves into a new post-COVID era and your team is tasked with solving new problems, it is more important than ever to focus on building – and perhaps even rebuilding – a team culture that elicits high levels of trust, collaboration, transparency and equity.

Join us online and learn how Mutual Goodwill can foster an environment of positivity and respect and build a more cohesive and productive team. As an extension of servant leadership, the practice of Mutual Goodwill assumes that in all communications, whether it is a difficult conversation or asking questions, those involved are genuine, positive and helpful in spirit. The practice requires that you not assume an underlying agenda or take on the emotional tone of others, especially if past interactions have been negative or harmful. Each interaction is experienced as a new one with the assumption that the interaction will lead to positive outcomes.

During this interactive training, we will:

• Define the concept of Mutual Goodwill and how it works
• Hear success stories and examples that illustrate how Mutual Goodwill can be implemented within a team
• Assess the readiness of you and your team in adopting this practice
• Discuss your leadership philosophy and how Mutual Goodwill enhances it
• Brainstorm with your peers potential barriers that might prevent you from adopting Mutual Goodwill and, more importantly, how to overcome those barriers
• Identify small and meaningful ways you can begin to model Mutual Goodwill within your team

If you’re looking to improve staff morale, build greater trust and cohesion within your team and generally create a team culture that seeks to help and serve others, especially through differences, this training is for you!
