Leaders have a special responsibility for the success in the agile organisation. Leadership behaviour is the strongest way to form organisational culture and leading the agile strategy in the intended direction. So, leaders have a special responsibility, but they are also the ones who deepest feels the consequences of the change to their role. In this training you will have the opportunity to learn about great leadership archetypes as well as exploring and reflecting on your personal leadership style.

Many leaders have become leaders because they were experts in a certain area. They got the responsibility of a team or two together with the incentive to make these teams deliver. As an expert you can get success by telling people what to do as well as being involved in the daily operations. The problem with this approach is that it does not scale. There is a risk of being overburden or the quality of what you are responsible for might decline. Therefore, you may have to re-invent yourself as a leader and become a catalyst and enabler for the teams in order to be successful.

This training is all about this journey and during this, we will be providing insights and perspectives on good agile leadership. We will help you to reflect on your approach and find new patterns to apply in your daily work as a leader.

The training is in six 90-minutes sessions with approximate one hour individual preparations prior to each session.

Our course content and facilitation and has been refined over many years by a team of the world's best Agile Leadership coaches and trainers. We have leveraged our collective expertise and experiences to create the Agile Leadership Journey - a truly world-class learning experience for Leaders.
