Why should I consider taking this program?

In the future of work, managers and leaders will need to take on the role of leading with agility.  By having an in-depth understanding of what drives themselves and their people – human needs, behaviors, teamwork, and strategy,  agile leaders are better equipped to drive business success and innovation.

We call this role being an Agile People Leader..  leading in a way that inspires and enables collaboration through teams and communities of like-minded individuals who aim to improve business agility and support organizations in their transformation and learning journey.

The Agile People Leader is an alternative career path for traditional managers and HR professionals. During this training, you will learn how to create conditions for your people to thrive and perform together at their best.

Course Description

Agile Leadership is about creating an environment where people can be their best. However, in order to lead others, we need to first understand ourselves.

The course will provide insights to understand yourself on a deeper level better, what drives you, why you do what you do, and how you can use this knowledge in interaction with others.

In this course we explore the approach that leading others starts with developing self-leadership, having a practical understanding of psychology and behaviors, understanding biases and how our own behavior can influence and affect others.  Most importantly.. how effective communication is the key for us to relate to others and lead effective collaborations.

Target Audience

The training is for leaders, or aspiring leaders, at all organizational levels. It is designed for professionals seeking to learn what is necessary to lead in adaptive environments and how to develop relevant leadership capabilities.

It is also for HR, Management Consultants, Change Managers, or Agile Coaches who want an understanding of Agile Leadership.

Feedback from participants in previous courses:

“During this Business Agility Foundations course, I particularly liked how the facilitator utilized different presenters and augmented the course materials with videos and blogs for further learning and exploration. This approach kept all the modules interesting and relevant with new points of view. One of the most positive aspects of this course was the global nature of this class. Learning about people’s perspectives working in different cultures was really eye-opening and intriguing, such as exploring, giving, and receiving feedback. I highly recommend this course.”

How does the process look for this training?

We will use virtual online tools to communicate, learn and interact. You will need a good internet connection and an undisturbed workplace where you can have a quiet background. We will work in break-out sessions in Zoom and use our community platform for communication between the instructor-led sessions. We will go through all practicalities during the first session.

Yes, the sessions take place according to a schedule for the year that has been predetermined. If you miss a session, you can always take it back at a later session.
