About This Course

Join Dr. Karl Haden, co-author of The 9 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders and 31 Days with the Virtues and Ross Peters, Vice President of School Strategy, EXPLO Elevate, for a discussion of character-based leadership in the midst of Covid-19, the national reckoning with systemic racism, and the increasing bi-furcation of our national culture on numerous fronts. The webinar will explore how leaders can develop the habits (virtues) necessary to create workplaces where people contribute and thrive in both good times and bad. People in any leadership role in education should consider joining us, as should those who aspire to such roles.

The virtues of exceptional leaders are habits; and like the habits of a virtuoso, they result from deliberate practice.

Course Format:

  • Three, hour-long interactive meetings will take place at 11:00 a.m. EDT on the first, second, and third Tuesdays in October.
  • In addition there will be two, hour-long office sessions for further conversation about course content.
  • Sessions will be recorded and made available to registrants.
  • Every registrant will receive a copy of 31 Days with the Virtues–an 84-page book filled with reflections on individual virtues. Each day’s reflection ends with a suggestion for practicing the relevant virtue.

Success Stories

“I've taken quite a few leadership courses and seminars; none come close to the material involved and coordination AAL. Sprinkle a little genuine interest in seeing us succeed and well intentions and you have the best leadership mentors PERIOD.”

Dr. Khaled Hussein

BronxCare Health System

“The program was very valuable in the way that it gave us some real tools, some real opportunities and ways to evaluate ourselves and our own approaches to leadership and then gave us an opportunity of how to apply that to interprofessional education. I think that was the best … the applicability of the tools that were provided to us and how we can utilize those were just amazing. It was very valuable and an opportunity to evaluate yourself with the tools that they provided to give an introspective look into your own leadership style and what other people thought of your leadership, and that was very powerful.”

Dr. Kevin Brueilly

Wingate University Levine College of Health Sciences

“I think the program was excellent. There were many excellent sessions. They were very stimulating. They kept us moving, very thought provoking. I thought the program overall was well designed, and as I said very thought provoking. For the inaugural program, it was well put together. You could see the passion in the instructors, who were very well versed in the topics that they talked about. I’m really pleased to be a part of this, and as a social worker, I really got a great sense of how interprofessional education can be very instrumental in terms of social workers working in healthcare settings. I think this is the wave of the future, and this program will gain traction in the future. I’m just glad to be a part of it.”
