Being a leader these days means navigating complex and ambiguous situations while keeping pace with ever-changing needs. Gone are the days of doling out orders and ensuring established processes are followed. Leadership now is about communicating a vision, building bridges between people with diverse perspectives and maintaining a balance between performance and collective well-being. These multiple responsibilities can sometimes conflict, making it more and more difficult for those at the top to keep their footing.
The four-day Leadership Essentials program is an immersion into the fundamental and strategic aspects of what it is to lead against this backdrop. It will explore the state of flux in the expectations of leaders, staff diversity and how to manage it, the importance of creating purpose and fostering engagement, and the art of mobilizing talent, both individually and collectively. The program will also delve into some of the darker aspects of leadership, including the thorny challenges involved in managing managers.
By the end of this program, you will be equipped to cope with the contradictory demands of a high-level role, cement your credibility and rally different teams around a common vision and shared values. And you will have a whole new set of actionable strategies to leverage as you tackle the challenges of leading in today’s world.
