Interdependent leadership is wise democratic leadership that makes best use of everyone’s ideas and skills. In this presentation, Gerard Costa, Director of Center for Autism and Early Childhood Mental Health at Montclair State University, will offer a Self-Reg perspective on interdependent leadership:

• Leadership through the lens of the “interbrain”
• Leadership, the highest levels of Functional Emotional Developmental
Capacities (FEDCs) and harnessing the “Prefrontal Cortical Functions”
• What interdependent leadership looks like, and why it’s the best way to lead
• How good relationships, social engagement and a climate of emotional safety
can help increase engagement and foster good teamwork
• Replacing “control” with “regulation,” “relationships” and stress awareness
• How your colleagues and/or employees can help you be a good leader
• Connecting personal growth to organizational development
