[English] Agile Leadership
2 -days Interactive Workshop (ICP-LEA)
About The Course
Agile Leadership is about creating an environment where people can be their best. To lead others, we first need to understand ourselves. The course will provide insights to understand yourself on a deeper level better, why you do what you do, and how you can use this knowledge in interaction with others.
Leading others starts with developing self-leadership, understanding biases and how behaviors affect others, and learning how effective communication can be vital in relating to others.
Why should I consider taking this program?
In the future of work, managers and leaders will need to take an Agile People Leaders role. By having an in-depth understanding of human needs, behaviors, teamwork, and strategy, Agile People Leaders are equipped to drive business success and innovation.
An Agile People leader inspires and collaborates with a community of like-minded individuals who aim to improve business agility and support organizations in their transformation and learning journey. They help people develop an agile mindset and work towards achieving this common goal.
In this training, you gain insight into the basic values, principles, and mindset of what agile leadership entails, and you learn to understand the challenges companies face, you will learn how to coach people to find a place to be the best and create conditions for people to perform together, as well as understand what basic leadership skills are required to build an agile organisational culture.

Detailed Course Description
The Why & What of Leading with Agility
In this session, we will explore the changing environment & dynamics that call for a different leading and following approach. Next, we look into the misalignment between what managers think drives their people and what people – knowledge workers – expect from managing and leading them. Finally, we explore our understanding and expectations. What attitudes, expectations, and concrete behaviours do we hope to see from people who lead with agility?
Leadership behaviours that Enable Agility
When you wish to make a radical change or transformation, understanding three things enables you to shift. First, where are we coming from, where are we now, and where are we heading. This session explores the evolution of leadership theories and which leadership styles and approaches they have given birth to. Second, we determine what is still relevant. And what needs to change. A big part of that shift comes from understanding the nature of Power & Influence and how we gain power might be changing. Finally, we look into specific qualities & competencies we can cultivate and develop to increase our agility.
Getting to know Yourself
Leading others starts with developing our own self-leadership. If we cannot understand and embrace ourselves, we have little hope for fully understanding and accepting others. Understanding why we react to things in specific ways gives us the insights and ability to choose our responses better and change how we show up in our interactions. Leading others starts with developing our self-leadership.In this session, we explore ways to map and become more aware of our own experiences. Next, we dive into heuristics – cognitive biases – to understand how they work and influence our thinking, how we can become more aware of them, and most importantly, how we can counter them.
Finally, we explore specific leadership mind-traps and how we can unlock those mind-traps to show up in better ways as leaders.
Developing & Leading Ourselves
Having gained some insights into how we can know and connect with ourselves to choose how we respond to situations and show up in our interactions with others, it’s now time to put that into practice. We familiarise ourselves with the Clear Leadership model developed by Gervase Bushe and develop the four selves of the Leader.. the Aware Self, the Descriptive Self, the Curious Self, and the Appreciative Self.
We explore several different contexts where we can put these into practice to better check in with people, give and receive effective feedback, step into coaching leadership, and defuse conflicts through creating inter-personal clarity.
Effective Communication
Communicating effectively, relating to others, creating and maintaining healthy interactions, having productive conversations, and ultimately influencing others requires practice and effective
communication dynamics. In this session, we work on the dynamics of effective communication through the lenses of several mental models, the dynamics of productive conversations, and the power of compelling storytelling to move and influence others. We explore three types of stories we can learn to identify and narrative patterns that help you tell compelling stories as a leader.
