Vital Leadership Practices
Improve confidence, increase effectiveness and build resilience.
Develop vital leadership practices to successfully navigate today’s ever-changing world!
Vital
~ absolutely necessary; essential; indispensable; crucial; key.
~ full of energy; lively; active; spirited.
Practice
~ action rather than idea; describes what really happens.
~ something that is regularly done, often as a habit.
As the last couple of years have proven, there are no well-worn paths or guides to show the way through the dynamic complexity and uncertainty of the world.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to define the challenges we face, let alone solve them.
There are no easy answers…
These times call for a different type of leadership – one that goes beyond the limits of knowledge and expertise, to cultivating new, vital practices.
Join us in deep, adaptive learning to cultivate four core vital leadership practices:
- Being – Enhance your self-awareness, develop flexibility of thinking, embrace the unknown.
- Noticing & Sense Making – Understand the context and diagnose the challenges you face.
- Relating – Work across difference, engage multiple perspectives, connect and collaborate.
- Visioning & Mobilising – Articulate your vision, cultivate what inspires you, bring people along.
This is for you if:
- You are leading complex change
- You want to mobilise others to tackle tough challenges
- You are doubting your capability for making progress and looking for next-level skills
- You feel depleted of energy, lacking inspiration or motivation
- You want to build personal and collective resilience
We invite you to bring your learning mindset, be open to new and diverse perspectives and be willing to explore, experiment and play.
As the poet Antonio Machado reminds us:
