The rising generation must be able to communicate with conviction and compassion in an increasingly diverse, divided, and disrupted world. This workshop will help strengthen your capacity to be a brave leader and communicator in whatever setting or sector you choose.

This workshop is open only to students who have not taken the course "REAL TALK: The Art & Practice of BRAVE Communication" at HGSE.

Facilitators: Marshall Ganz and Christopher Robichaud

We must see ourselves as human if we are to achieve excellence in the practice of democratic leadership and democracy itself. But this understanding of ourselves and each other is in deep peril today. Economic systems turn us into profit centers, political systems turn us into data points, communications systems turn us into users, even as our relationships are turned into transactions. And in universities and colleges, humanistic studies like art, literature, philosophy, sacred scriptures, and poetry, get marginalized with ever increasing speed.

With "Being Human” we begin to respond by offering participants an opportunity to incorporate the humanistic lens into their leadership practice through a variety of different modes of engagement. These include reflection, readings, art, music, relationship building, and other forms of practice-oriented exercises. One focus of the co-curricular will be on examining ways in which we dehumanize each other and experimenting with ways to rehumanize ourselves.

Being Human is jointly offered by Harvard Kennedy School Senior Lecturers Marshall Ganz and Christopher Robichaud.

Facilitators: Kathryn B. Carlson and Anil Hurkadli

This series is designed for public leaders seeking a better understanding about how philanthropy impacts public policy and community outcomes. Philanthropy is often misunderstood as monolithic, and there are numerous ways to engage and partner with foundations. We will not be talking about how to fundraise in this series; instead, we hope students will walk away with new insights about the role foundations have played in shaping the modern world and how to effectively leverage philanthropic partnerships as a tool for greater equity and justice.

Facilitator: David Wood

Practitioners of responsible and impact investing must take particular social and environmental issues or goals and make them tractable to financial practice. In this intensive you will meet a series of practitioners facing specific challenges, and work with those practitioners to think through the kinds of decisions they must make to meet those challenges.

The Liberation Lab: A Course on Agency, Identity, and Restoration (Race & Restoration)

Facilitators: Abel Cano and Kortni Malone

This series offers a peer-learning experience that focuses on reflection and restoration as key practices of democratic public leadership and engages race as a critical dimension of those practices. The program uses race-based caucusing to provide a transformative space for reflection, synthesizing learning, and building your restorative tool kit. The series offers a transformative space where BIPOC leaders and White allies can build their capacity to engage.

Led by Hon. Mark Wolf, Judge, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts; Chair, Integrity Initiatives International, CPL Fall 2023 Hauser Leader

Grand corruption is endemic in many countries and has devastating international consequences. An International Anti-Corruption Court is urgently needed to hold accountable and deter the kleptocrats who have impunity in their own countries because they control the administration of justice. The seminar will be taught by Senior U.S. District Judge Hon. Mark Wolf, the Chair of Integrity Initiatives International, which has catalyzed and is coordinating the rapidly progressing campaign to create the Court.

Led by Carla Dirlikov Canales, SICI Fellow

Finding Your Authentic Voice is designed to help participants find their voice through activities that explore culture, heritage, and identity.  The intention is to draw a parallel between understanding the power of our voices as social change makers and learning helpful tools to explore personal identity and individual authenticity.  Participants will explore tools needed to cultivate their unique voice to be stronger leaders in both ways, and in hopes of also gaining an appreciation and understanding of basic vocal skills for speaking in public. 

This course is intended to compliment "Using Your Voice to Make a Difference" which will be offered in Spring 2024.

Over the course of four sessions, participants will explore ways to find, utilize and amplify their voices.

Led by Professor of Practice Arthur Brooks and the Leadership and Happiness Lab 

The Leadership and Happiness Laboratory will seek 12-15 students interested in learning about the science of wellbeing and committed to completing research in the field. Students will learn the literature on wellbeing, conduct workshops with participating faculty, and conduct research projects that contribute new insights into an international perspective of happiness and public policy.

As a Public Issue Cohort, the purpose of the Latinx Leadership Initiative is to do a deep dive into the public policy challenges of the Latinx community in the United States. The program structured around 3 program elements: 

• Building a community of peers around a shared purpose and passion for the Latinx community. This includes sharing meals and social outings together. 
• Bringing participants proximate to the community through field experiences. As a cohort, we will be interacting with the local Latinx community, and the nonprofit that serve them.   
• Providing experiential leadership practice by undertaking a leadership project that synthesizes the learning of the field experiences. This could be creating policy recommendations and meeting with policy makers, participating in a conference, or hosting an event. 

The cohort meets the entire 2022-2023 academic year, about once a month. There are 3 field experiences often taking place on Fridays or on weekends.

CPL has in its core mission to support students in their learning journey at Harvard Kennedy School by offering co-curriculum activities that help them advance their public leadership goals. Public Leadership Development Cohorts are a way to bring together small groups of HKS students in various stages of their degree program to:  

• Build a community of peers who are trying to find a way to have an impact on the complex challenges of our global society, but are not sure how to build a life of work and learning focused on making change 
• To create opportunities for thinking and reflection about their interests and how to use HKS to build the skills, capacities and knowledge that will help them in their public leadership journey  

The Cohort is NOT a leadership class. It is a space of reflection, community, and sense making about your education and larger purposes. Our goal is to help students ask and think about questions related to their public leadership journey and their time at HKS.

Led by Senior Lecturer Marshall Ganz and the Practicing Democracy Project 

This is a peer-learning experience that focuses on reflection and restoration as key practices of democratic public leadership and engages race as a critical dimension of those practices. The program explores the idea of race-based caucusing as a transformative space for reflection, synthesizing learning, and building your restorative tool kit to deepen your capacities to engage in long-term leadership and organizing.

Led by Lecturer and Senior Fellow in Environmental Leadership Rand Wentworth

The world desperately needs leaders with the courage, drive, and political skills to fight climate change and help restore the natural world. This mentoring group brings together students interested in dedicating their careers to solving the climate crisis and to fighting for environmental causes.

Systems Thinking and Leadership Workshop

A half-day workshop offered under the CPL Co-Curricular Program 

Hosted by Christopher Pietroni, Professor of Leadership Practice at the University of Birmingham (UK) and Director of the Birmingham Leadership Institute. 

Friday 28th October, 2022 - 10am-4pm

Lunch Provided

The most pressing challenges we face are systemic, and often the leadership we have is fundamentally unsuited to the needs of the systemic challenges we face.

Whether we are concerned with trans-national peace building, local economic prosperity or organizational productivity and innovation the same systems principles apply. The injustices we want to end and the value we want to create are properties of whole systems which cannot be predicted or addressed by focusing on each of the parts individually. Yet the practice of leadership is almost always focused not on whole systems but on the organizations, communities, companies, and people make them up. 

In this workshop we will introduce key concepts from systems thinking such as emergence, boundaries, complexity and uncertainty and explore what implications they have for the practice of leadership. We will work with the confusing reality of what it feels like to try to exercise leadership in complex and uncertain systems and introduce you to practices and frameworks that can help. With you, we will investigate what it means to exercise leadership systemically and apply these insights to the systemic leadership challenges that matter most to you. 

About the instructor:

The workshop will be led by Christopher Pietroni, Professor of Leadership Practice at the University of Birmingham (UK) and Director of the Birmingham Leadership Institute. His work focusses on leadership and change in complex systems. He is known for his innovative programs on systemic leadership with practitioners across public, private and non-profit organizations and the ground-breaking Systems Thinking and Leadership MSc at the University of Birmingham. In 2017-18 he was Fellow of Practice at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford and he has been a Senior Fellow at the Leadership Centre and a Senior Associate at the Kings Fund. Christopher is an HKS alum (MC/MPA 2010) where he was awarded the Lucius N. Littauer Fellowship.

Led by Lecturer Mark Fagan 

Lobbying is often called the 4th branch of government since this multi-billion dollar industry significantly impacts policymaking. This intensive provides the opportunity to understand the fundamentals of lobbying while learning first-hand about the lobbying efforts of advocacy groups representing a variety of perspectives.

Led by Lecturer Mark Fagan 

Police-mental health collaborations (P-MHC) offer great potential to better handle mental health crises. These collaborations have been successful piloted in many cities with encouraging results. However, few have been successful taken to scale. Join Mark Fagan and your colleagues to explore the tools for taking policy to scale and the role of leadership in successful scaling. A new teaching case and computer-based simulation for scaling P-MHC provide the scaffolding for the session.

The United States has long relied on philanthropy to fill in gaps in government capacity, particularly around the social safety net. This offering explores key questions between the relationship of philanthropy and public policy. Using the Greater Boston region as a lens, we will explore the role of philanthropy in local settings, how this translates into public policy adaptation, and analyze the different philanthropic models that exist today.

Led by Carla Dirlikov Canales, Fellow at the Social Innovation and Change Initiative 

Using Your Voice to Make a Difference is designed to help participants find their voice, both literally and figuratively, through activities that explore culture, heritage, and identity as well as through voice lessons and other forms of artistic expression. The intention is to draw a parallel between understanding the power of our voices as social change makers and learning vocal technique in order to physically strengthen one’s voice. Participants will explore tools needed to cultivate their unique voice in order to be stronger leaders in both ways, and in hopes of also gaining an appreciation and understanding of basic vocal skills for speaking in public as well as for singing.

Led by Instructor Monica Giannone, Research Fellow Anselm Dannecker, and the Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Collaboratory

SimSoc or Simulated Society is an immersive simulation where participants aim to build a thriving society by overcoming the initial challenges that the society faces. SimSoc is an immersive simulated exercises that allows students to practice and reflect on key skills of negotiation, leadership, and organization.

The Campaign and Advocacy Program (CAP) is a workshop-style program that develops students’ electoral and advocacy campaign skills. Members will attend weekly meetings led by the student chair and professional facilitator Setti Warren (interim director of the IOP and former mayor of Newton, Massachusetts).

This semester, CAP will work to develop students’ movement-building skills so that they can enter the world of advocacy, answering the question: what strategies, influences, and issues are at play?
CAP members are given the exclusive opportunity to build valuable relationships with the program facilitator, speakers, and guests during program meetings. The program will provide students with a well-rounded knowledge of advocacy structure and strategies that prepare them to take active roles in future advocacy efforts. CAP encourages students to get involved with real issues that matter to them and provides resources to connect students with active advocacy roles.
This semester, CAP will focus primarily on advocacy issues, teaching students how to advocate for themselves and causes about which they care. At the end of the semester, students will have the opportunity to present a capstone project based on an advocacy issue of choice after learning how to build a movement.

Although leadership can be exercised by people who don’t have any explicit authority, much can be learned about what makes for good leadership by interrogating the efforts of those wielding significant political power. And those lessons needn’t only be captured by examining real world cases. Staged productions, poetry, film, television series, sequential art, sacred stories—all of these can be rich sources of insight into good and bad leadership. This study group will explore the triumphs and failures, the virtues and vices, the righteous deeds and horrible crimes, of fictional and fictionalized individuals who possess tremendous political power.
