We designed this program for the leaders in the frontline. The people managers that need to motivate and align teams to pull in the same direction & get stuff done, while looking after the day-to-day operations and business performance. The middle managers that need to convert strategy, vision & transformation ambitions into action & results. The program managers that need to mobilize resources & influence stakeholders across functions. We designed it for everyone that does not have enough time, resources & energy to get everything done. For the ones that are a bit tired of constant transformation & the inertia of complex organisations. For everyone that can benefit from new practises that makes life at work a bit more impactful, meaningful & fun, and a bit less stressful & tense.

Through this experience, participants will learn new theoretical & practical concepts of roles, organizational dynamics, emotions at work, transformation, transition, resistance to change, problem solving, collective intelligence & more. Participants will discover new perspectives and get to new levels of awareness and insights about their context, organisation, role, and perhaps about themselves. We will practice the new knowledge, insights & learnings on real situations from the participant’s work. It is an opportunity to re-energize the leadership & management of change & transformation.

Once back to work, participants will be equipped to lead and manage the business, organisation & people with more serenity and get more done with less effort. Participants will be able to adapt leadership and management practices to reduce tension & resistance and increase engagement & alignment. They will also be able to stimulate curiosity & the appetite to learn in the organisation, for themselves & others, to develop & thrive during change & transformation.

Introduction: Recap of the timeless challenges of leadership & management during change, and the  opportunities of  working along the human dimensions of the organisation.

Module 1. Role Exploration – A look in the mirror: We explore the relationship between the organisation, the role and the person, in its context. This learning is coupled with a practical exercise of analyzing participants own role and ecosystem of change & transformation, discovering what we do not know that we do not know.

Module 2. Emotions at work – A peek under the surface: We look at how the underlying emotions of individuals & collectives impact the organizational dynamics and behavior. We will demystify recently popularized concepts such as emotional intelligence, vulnerability and psychological safety, and identify rudimentary management practices applied on clinical cases (participants situations from work).

Module 3. Dynamic Change Leadership – In the context of transformation: We will share good practices from a multitude of transformation cases that we have been part of over the past decades, to start the conversation about what participants can do differently, and better at work. We will examine the Leader’s role in creating the conditions for success & explore what is working well or not in participants transformation eco-system at work.

Module 4. Collective intelligence, Decision Making & Action: We will build a practical action plan together, for participants to make the first steps of implementation a reality before the end of the session. We will make use of the concept of collective intelligence, to facilitate insight & clarity dealing with dilemmas, and to be able to move forward despite uncertainty & ambiguity.
