Objectives
Upon completion of this masterclass, participants will be able to:
Use the competing values framework to diagnose their own leadership tendencies and identify the paradoxical capabilities they need to develop.
Apply the core principles of adaptive leadership to mobilise teams for challenges that require new learning.
Define their core leadership principles and create a plan to navigate complexity with greater integrity.
Utilise a coaching approach and job crafting principles to develop the adaptive capacity of their direct reports.
Added values
Master 'both/and' thinking: Move beyond simplistic trade-offs to skillfully manage the critical paradoxes of leadership. Learn to simultaneously drive for results and cultivate people, create stability and foster agility, using a dynamic, evidence-based framework.
Lead when you don't have the answers: Master the principles of adaptive leadership to mobilize your teams to tackle challenges that have no known solutions. Learn to distinguish technical problems from adaptive challenges and avoid the trap of applying authority to situations that require collective learning.
Lead from a foundation of integrity: Build an unshakable leadership core based on your values and strengths. Learn how to remain principled and trustworthy while flexing into different, often contradictory, leadership roles as the situation demands.
Shift from problem-solver to capacity-builder: Evolve your approach from directing to developing. Master the leader-coach stance and the principles of job crafting to empower your team members, making them more engaged, accountable, and adaptive in their own right.
Issues addressed
This masterclass equips leaders to solve critical, high-stakes business imperatives by:
Accelerating stalled transformations: Build the trust necessary to break through inertia by correctly diagnosing the adaptive work and mobilizing people to co-create the future state.
Boosting organizational agility and innovation: Create the psychological safety born from principled, consistent leadership necessary for teams to experiment, learn, and adapt at the speed of the market.
Increasing senior leadership bench strength: Develop leaders who are resilient, versatile, and trusted, capable of performing effectively across a wide range of unpredictable future scenarios.
Driving engagement and retaining top talent: Create a culture of empowerment where people are motivated to work for a leader whose actions align with their words.
