Leading with Agility
Change is a given in today’s disruptive world and leaders need to learn to live with, and encourage, “continuous revolution”
Creating a new way of being
For leaders and managers accepting that curve balls are the ‘new normal’ is the first step to thriving and seeing opportunities. It is not just about cultivating a different mindset or working differently, it’s about creating a new way of being. When only the start point is certain, leaders need to be brave and step out into the void trusting that they can work it out together with their team. More than this leaders need to be able to embrace emergent practices and say, “I don’t know exactly how we are going to reach our destination, but we’ll figure it out together.”
Step in Agile. Not the buzzword, or a framework, but a mindset and way of working that the leader and his/her team create together that is specific to their own unique ‘system’. If you think blueprints still work in this volatile, complex and unpredictable world perhaps you should think again…
We provide leaders with a guided learning process that enables a shift of leadership mindset that enables managers to map out a team’s new normal.
