More information
ORGANIC agility® provides a new leadership approach, models for cultural change and insights into complexity thinking. It addresses topics that are important to every leader in any organization.
ORGANIC Leadership is a dynamic and adaptable leadership framework, which is based on a scaffolding architecture. It is characterized by having 3 different dimensions: leadership attitude, situational awareness and cultural awareness. Leadership attitude is manifested through behaviors, which might, or not, be appropriate for the situation at hand and/or for the cultural context.
This course equips you to embark on a journey toward leading with agility and championing cultural change in your workplace. You will get a thought-provoking introduction to the foundations of ORGANIC leadership and validate your understanding of how an agile leader is supposed to think and act.
The course is composed of a mix of engaging videos, instructional reading, reflective exercises and interactive quizzes, which aim at stimulating different parts of your brain and thus help you learn more and retain the learning longer. The course includes also a list of downloadable pdfs which you can use as take-away summary and include your own reflections: keep them at hand and re-read them even after the training is completed.
