Description
PAL is a practical training where you will learn to use the leadership perspectives of the future based on an authentic and people-centric approach.
We believe that a course about agility needs to be agile in itself. Therefore, you will get to answer questions about your situation and organization before the course. We will adapt the course along the way based on your answers and the interactions during the course.
Why choose this training?
The four following aspects are fundamental parts of a successful organization today. Participating in this course, you will learn to integrate and strengthen these in your leadership and organization.
1. Flexible Organization
- work more strategically as decisions are taken by those affected by them
- reduce your daily operational work.
2. Continuous Learning
Continuous development and learning are crucial to innovation and organizational learning. It becomes a competitive advantage when you and your organization can build competencies and move quicker than your competition.
3. Customer Focus
As a leader, you grow people, provide them with the right capabilities to do their job, and design work around the customers. This way, people feel empowered, which in turn increases customer satisfaction.
4. Attractive Employer
To attract and retain your people, you as a leader must secure a great people experience and see and treat people for who they are. The people in your organization will determine the success or failure of your business as they deliver your customer experience.
Things keep changing and sometimes fast. To help you to get more clear in your leadership, the eight roles of an Agile People Leader can make all the difference in the world. It helps you feel more confident in your role. It improves your performance as a leader in challenging and changing situations. You will learn to get really good at using these roles during the course.
