Certified ORGANIC agility Foundations

Leadership & Organization (CAL E/O)

ORGANIC agility® provides a new leadership approach, models for cultural change, insight into complexity thinking and addresses topics that are important to every leader in any organization. The ORGANIC Leadership® framework supports leadership growth as a capability, rather than only seeing it as the personal development of leaders. To grow leadership capabilities we need to start building the ability, in ourselves and others, to see the connections between what we do and the effect these actions have on our organizational culture, our environment and ourselves as leaders. Becoming a true Strategic Leader will allow you to focus on what matters and equip you to head a resilient organization.

ORGANIC agility® Foundations: Leadership

This 1-day ORGANIC agility Leadership Class brings awareness and understanding of the foundations of agile leadership and allows students to discover the way agile leaders think, focus, and behave. The focus on agile leadership equips you to embark confidently on the journey toward leading with agility and championing agile transformation in your workplace.

The class is presented in a highly interactive and collaborative format with elements of lecture, classroom discussion, exercises, games and simulations, smoothly blended throughout the class. We will approach the class at a sustainable pace and endeavour to take breaks often, to allow our brains to stay focused and our bodies to recharge when necessary.
