About [Edit]
Leadership Institute of Seattle
The Northwest's premier center for innovative leadership education. Since 1969, Leadership Institute of Seattle has prepared men and women to become effective leaders, ready to take on important roles within organizations or to work independently as skilled consultants and counselors.
In 2008 Leadership Institute of Seattle became affiliated with Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, a regionally accredited institution located in San Francisco, California. Students pursue Master of Arts degrees in Psychology with a specialization in Systems Counseling, or in Organizational Systems with a specialization in Leadership and Organization Development.
Mission Statement:
LIOS promotes healthy, just and sustainable human systems by educating people to live and lead with integrity.
Experiential Learning
LIOS leadership training is rooted in self-development through integrated, rigorous course work. In the science of training a professional, competent practitioner, LIOS may be seen as a laboratory. The student is both scientist and subject in the systematic exploration of self, and self in relation to others. Because course content is related to the student's immediate experience, the educational process takes the form of a series of discoveries about others, about self and about the ways perceptions and judgments affect interactions, choices and actions.
By means of individual, one-on-one and group work; focused simulations; lecture; videotaped interactive presentations; and consistent feedback from faculty and peers, students have numerous opportunities to apply their knowledge, practice their skills, experiment with change and resistance, and shape events and interactions.
The LIOS educational process is enriched by the context in which it takes place, a community committed to learning, especially from its own socio-economic, racial, cultural and gender diversity.
Key elements that contribute to the excellence of the LIOS learning experience:
- A fundamental commitment to positive and sustainable change through leadership education
- Outstanding faculty
- A highly personalized, creative approach to learning
- Modular learning opportunities designed to suit time-challenged professionals
- Constantly updated methodologies, models and theories in leadership studies
