Leadership for Business Agility (ICP LEA)

We are living in increasingly complicated times. It’s a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) and traditional approaches to leadership and running organizations are simply not effective enough to navigate everything that is happening.

Put simply, top-down, directive, command-and-control leadership is not a successful strategy. VUCA environments need leaders who can ask the question:

If we have even more complex environments, what kind of leaders do we need? And,

• What kind of leaders do we need to be?

We feel passionate about leadership and want to open a space where we can explore this subject with a group of people with diverse opinions.

This course is for you because the following leadership challenges are familiar to you:

• Understand your role in the context of Business Agility.
• Delve into team dynamics to motivate people consistently.
• Grow as a leader in your organisation, and grow your organisation continuously
• Adapt to current trends and challenges to make the right decisions.

Why are we passionate about Leadership:

Maike Stolte

"I believe in the power of our personal journey as continuous growth. Once I’ve realised that leader development is linked to personal development, it has become my mission to awaken the leader within all of us. Leadership is a fascinating discovery of how to adapt our strengths to current contexts in all its diverse colours. "

Dino Zafirakos

"I believe leadership does not happen in a vacuum. Everyone is capable of leadership and it manifests itself in different ways depending on the people and how they relate to each other. Through this lens I help create awareness and growth from this."
