Call to enter for free an International, on line , leaderless group about leadership and directorship conundrums
Dear Colleagues,
After many years of successful individual and group therapy we have found parts of ourselves in need of identification and further exploration regarding anxieties about directorship and leadership in society and organizations.
Irvin Yalom found that, for himself, being in a long term group with many other directors was the most valuable input in his learning journey.
We have personally experienced those parts of our struggles as directors of psychotherapeutic institutes, agencies, and organizations, that combine clinical work and educational teaching, often becoming contradictory and antagonistic to our other roles such as Group Therapist, Psychoanalyst, Supervisor, and others. The multiplicity of roles is the basic challenge every director copes with, as well as the multiple projections and representations that influence and sometimes attack the vision for good enough ethical leadership.
We have come to painfully admit that very rarely can colleagues who are not directors offer empathic understanding in such difficult moments of directorship and leadership.
This call concerns the enlargement of a small group that has been running virtually and leaderless, free of charge, since October 2021. We have paid with our time and devotion. While the speaking language will be English, it is expected that multinational, multiethnic, and intersectional aspects will enrich our dialogue. BIPOC members are particularly welcome.
Prospective members should currently be serving as Directors or Co Directors in institutes, non governmental agencies, the public or private sectors, in organizations, and in committees related to mental health education or clinical work. Managers, retired Directors, former Directors, or people who intend to become directors are welcome to join this group.
Those interested will receive two different friendly interactions regarding the scope of their entrance with two current members of the group.
We are from fifteen countries so far. The entry period is still running for more people to join us. Please circulate the attached document within your professional communities.
The group has been running Wednesdays 15.30 to 17.00 EET since October 6th 2021. When in doubt, convert from 15.30 EET on the specific date.
