UW-WAUKESHA<br />
Working in Adaptive Challenges<br />
Instructor, Mark Dominick<br />
If you want to understand and practice<br />
how to be a better leader and team player<br />
in chaotic, constantly changing environments,<br />
this class will help guide you to<br />
excel in those environments. Today’s problems<br />
are complex and growing as our technologies<br />
and environments integrate and<br />
merge. These types of problems are known<br />
as Adaptive Challenges, and reaching their<br />
solution space requires skill sets that work<br />
in adaptive challenges versus technical<br />
problems. We will help to build the critical<br />
1st steps to master these skills (self-awareness<br />
and self-monitoring) and use Crucial<br />
Conversations® to practice these skills so<br />
you can be more you and a leader in these<br />
challenges. This experiential course will<br />
meet on campus and off-campus meetings<br />
as part of the coursework. Students will<br />
have a list of text materials.<br />
Class will be held in Fall <strong>2018</strong>. Space<br />
will be limited. Please visit our website to<br />
pre-register for this professional development<br />
opportunity. Students will receive a<br />
UW Completion Certificate and 2.0 CEUs.<br />
