Google, Ferguson, Occupy and the U.S. House of Representatives: What Do They Have in Common?
Three-Session Program (4.5 Contact Hours)
Presenter: Andrea Greenman, PhD
Dates: Fridays, April 1, 8 and 15, 2016
Time: 1:00 – 2:30pm
Location: 241 Central Park West #1H, NYC
Groups can be effective and powerful agents of change; they can be equally effective in obstructing and blocking progress and development. This three-session program will help you develop tools for assessing and understanding large and small group phenomena, and also facilitate your work as a leader and member of a group, whether that be in classroom teaching, committee leadership or organizational management.
We will identify structural components of group functioning such as boundaries, authority, role and task, and develop the capacity to assess how these elements contain and manage anxiety. We will recognize some of the unconscious fantasies and social defenses that may be at play in groups and think together about how and when these currents may facilitate or impede the work of the group.
We will review theories of leadership and generate a more complex understanding of how to identify the challenges inherent in assuming a leadership position, and how leaders succeed or fail in carrying out their task. And finally, how does gender impact the leadership role?
Readings will include works by Bion, Menzies, Krantz, Armstrong and others.
