Effective People Leadership

SCHEDULE A PROGRAM...

One of the biggest challenges our organizations face as we adapt and embrace a new way of working better suited to navigate the increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world we live in is the lack of the type of leadership that can lead, support, and sustain this evolution.

The new landscape requires a fresh take on the traditional leadership model. Leading for sustained agility requires leaders who inspire and motivate teams, and teams of teams to navigate with aligned autonomy towards a more purposeful future that is adaptive, innovative, and resilient.

They:

Exhibit high emotional intelligence and adaptive intelligence.
Manage the system and environment that unleashes the full potential of their people.
Hone their personal agility to catalyze deep change through their own example.

This virtual program guides each leader through a personal transformational journey from the inside out to meet the challenge and opportunity of the knowledge age and the 4th Industrial Revolution.

During this program, leaders will:

Understand the role of leaders in shaping and sustaining a collaborative learning culture
Deepen awareness of their EQ, personal leadership style, paradigms and mental models
Discover the optimal conditions for self - organized teams to flourish
Explore the role of Servant Leadership in sustaining meaningful change
Exercise empathy to understand people’s motivations, strengths, and challenges
Practice communicating for inspiration, motivation and aligned autonomy
Understand natural conflict tendencies and harness productive conflict
Learn to expand your leadership capacity as catalyst for agility and resilience
Explore strategies to enable and nurture a culture of continuous learning and improvement
Maintain a guided journal of their learning
