You get the latest research on leadership, tons of practical examples and tools, as well as an optional self-assessment for your own focused leadership improvement!

Your Results from this Workshop

  • Self-Leadership: Conscious mindfulness in your leadership will foster clarity about the real challenges and the signals behind. Insights about previous constraints and about your own potential. Conscious attitude to increase your personal effectiveness. Immediate improvement of your own leadership.
  • Focus: Thinking outside the box, on the whole and on the essentials. You will increase your competence to convey visionary goals. And you will get ready to effectively develop corporate and departmental culture. But you will also be able to increase innovation and productivity.
  • Change: driving meaningful and future-oriented change for organizations from within. Create and maintain a values-driven culture.

Market, organizations and, above all, leadership are changing rapidly. High environmental dynamics require new management skills to make better decisions in the face of increasing uncertainty.

The Awareness Workshop for Agile Leadership offers an amazing foundation for sharpening your leadership skills and setting your personal compass for an agile organization. You will take away a wealth of new perspectives, insights, as well as concrete tools and results for your own practice.

Agile Leadership Model

Agile leadership is not an end-state that can be reached. It is a growth mindset with increasing awareness, adaptiveness and effectiveness. As you develop agility, you increase your mental capacity and flexibility to situationally adapt in complex environments.

Your Agile Leadership Journey begins with this Awareness Workshop. And beyond this we even offer an optional comprehensive deepening for sustainable personal development. Should you be interested to even dive deeper, with the successful participation in this Agile Leadership Workshop you create the foundation for optionally participating in our 6-month ALJ Practice Program.

Leader’s Awareness & Choice ignites the turbo for more effectiveness in leadership and in your organization. Don’ wait, because every day you don’t grow as a leader is a lost opportunity for your organization.

AGILE LEADERSHIP – WHY

Globalization, automation, increasing regulations, a 24×7 mobile society have already changed the world of work significantly and will probably continue to do so. For leadership, this means that you can hardly rely on previous success patterns. Agile Leadership means effective leadership in highly complex, uncertain and rapidly changing environments.

Frameworks for agile scaling are nowadays a standard approach, but very often fail to achieve the expected results. None of these frameworks adequately addresses the attitude and behavior of executives and their role in creating new structures and influencing cultures that are required for the enablement of agile practices and the sustainable success of teams.

With the Agile Leadership Journey™ we offer a deep qualification, concrete guidance, coaching and mentoring for executives, who want to achieve their own path towards more effective leadership and who want to increase the effectiveness of their organizations.

 

Leadership Agility® already helps thousands of executives worldwide to demonstrably improve their performance.
An improved management capacity, which leads to increased agility of the organization and better business performance.

Previous participants in the Agile Leadership Journey program come from a wide variety of industries and regions. Numerous companies around the world also use this program internally to make their managers fit for the future for the challenges of the 21st century. Just a few examples are Swiss Re, Sanofi, McKinsey & Company, ADCB, Vodafone or Danske Bank.

Business Agility - Designing your own Business Case for Agility

Agile Ways of Working are by no means intended as a “One Size Fits All” approach. And the agility of an entire organization goes far beyond.
  • You explore the necessary competencies of your organization with regard to business agility.
  • You will determine, how business agility serves as better risk management strategy, when it comes to complex, uncertain, and rapidly changing environments.

Introduction to the Leadership Agility Model

No judgmental metaphors, instead our Leadership Development Program relies on well-founded adult development concepts, that have been helping leaders in all industries to be more effective for decades.
  • You will become familiar with the leadership agility model and get ready to use it for identifying your own current leadership perspective and points of view.
  • This creates the basis for improving your leadership effectiveness – in connection with change initiatives in your organization, the development of high-performance teams and your results, especially in challenging conversational situations.

Increasing Leadership Capacity and Leading better situationally with Catalyst Leadership

Catalyst leadership is one of the most effective forms of leadership. Achieve results while integrating the complexity of the systems and the importance of human needs. In this workshop the goal for you is not to become a catalyst leader, but you will recognize your own point of view and the rich perspectives.
  • On the journey to Catalyst Leadership, you will recognize more and more comprehensive perspectives as well as concrete options with which you can significantly improve your leadership work.
  • Using numerous examples, you will get to know the more effective perspectives and actions of a Catalyst Leader.
  • You concretize the awareness of your own leadership practice and the balance of your behavioral patterns in challenging situations.
  • You self-assess and stretch your leadership style for achieving more balance
  • This creates the basis for greater adaptability and effectiveness in social interactions.

Any change in corporate culture begins with ourselves. Every day anew. Our behavior feeds the psychological safety in our immediate environment. We deepen the practical skills for this during the course of the workshop.

  • You learn to better classify your behavior and work with the help of neuroscientific insights.
  • You will elaborate a concrete agenda for your improvement process based on your personal behavioral patterns.

Understanding and developing your own Corporate Culture ("Macro Culture")

Organizational culture is hardly tangible. In this part of the workshop, you make that of your organization understandable and changeable. As a leader, you will learn how to influence this in a specific and targeted manner.
  • You will get to know the vital conditions for agile ways of working and how these are supported or hindered by the value assumptions of your organization.
  • Differentiating strategies for transformation programs in your organization, you will learn to avoid the pitfalls of classic scaling approaches.
  • Get effective ways for shaping culture in your organization. During the workshop you design concrete experiments and solutions for your concrete practice.

Leading the Business Transformation in Agile Ways

Concrete principles and practically applied models help you to set the course for promising change initiatives in your organization in this section.
  • With your Catalysts Leadership Perspectives, you create the framework for a suitable organizational culture that promotes, engages and empowers teams.
