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 />
