Artful Perception: New Lenses for Leadership is an interactive breakout session that teaches leaders to use works of art to sharpen their communication and problem-solving skills. Designed to support those who create and implement emergency response and protocols, the workshop focuses on articulating ideas that promote innovation, efficiency, and diversity of perspectives. Works of art are engaged to address breakdowns in communication of critical information, navigate new landscapes, and remove assumptions to promote best practices and more effective problem-solving in myriad areas of critical response. The session will challenge participants’ biases --- individually and as part of a leadership team -- and refresh critical inquiry skills by incorporating diverse perspectives into their thinking and decision making. In light of the pandemic’s shift in situational awareness, the program’s exercises are designed to meet leaders’ challenges of shifting priorities and reconsider their ability to communicate effectively in the face of change.
