Understanding Why New Thinking and Approaches Are Required for An Increasingly Complex, Unpredictable and Volatile World.

• Global Challenges
• VUCA
• Complexity and Uncertainty
• Management Trends
• Organization Transformation
• Agile Leadership Benefits

A Different Type of Leadership

Agile leadership is multi-faceted and may expose dozens of new pathways of learning. Learning from experience is important, as much as time to reflect and rationalize those learnings. Having a model or a framework that allows leaders to hold up a mirror and focus their improvements is a fundamental step to achieve continuous learning. On top of continuous personal development, it is very important to have a practical approach to interact with others that co-evolves with the organizational culture and serves as a texture for interactions. Good leaders can adapt their behavior and attitudes based on the situation at hand, rather than having a preferred leadership style.

• Mindset shift to support Agile approaches

• Structured leadership development approach

• Leadership interactions and culture

Self, Situational and Social Awareness

The intent of this section is to continue towards understanding how to improve control over actions and focus those actions towards achieving leadership effectiveness and reflecting on the importance of the awareness of the impact that their actions might have on the people around them. This awareness can sharpen the capability of a leader to effectively engage and interact with their groups, as well as increasing the likelihood that those groups will achieve the desired outcome.

• Self-Awareness
• Situational Awareness
• Social Awareness

Growth Mindset

The intent behind this section is to reflect on the importance of personal and professional growth and the fact that it involves believing that we can change, then examining and deliberately choosing our thoughts, feelings and behaviors and that feedback is the fuel for a growth mindset and an adaptive organization. By role modeling feedback on the leader personally, they will demonstrate vulnerability and openness to enrich a culture of continuous learning.

• Growth Mindset

• Incorporating Feedback

Respectful Engagement

The intent behind this area is that exposing more diversity of voices will lead toward improved outcomes in highly complex environments. Furthermore, the global workforce is becoming more creative and demands a higher level of contribution toward team and organizational goals. Leaders will learn different techniques compatible with the approach shared at point 3. Practicing should increase the understanding and increase the level of confidence in applying such techniques in the leaders’ own work environment.

• Respectful Conversations

• Engaging without Micromanaging
