Workshop: It Takes Two To Tango- Leadership During Complex Times - LC GLOBAL, New York, NY

Workshop: It Takes Two – Leadership During Complex Times

A unique learning experience that will empower your leaders to better deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. Rolled-out systematically and consistently, this program has the power to transform your organizational culture.

Leadership during complex times requires the capacity to step into the unknown and to collectively shape the future as it emerges. This workshop offers a unique learning opportunity for leaders to understand and develop these skills. We work with various leadership metaphors, which highlight the continuous process of leading, following and putting the lead into shared action despite unknown factors. In the process, we combine cognitive approaches with embodiment, applied and experiential practices. The intention of the seminar is for leaders to understand that in a connected world full of ambiguity, it does indeed take two or more to lead. In an ever changing environment, the only way of gaining control is to be able to flexibly predict the impact of one’s actions and in a world full of uncertainty, the only thing we have control over is ourselves.

THIS PROGRAM TAKES SOME OF THE MYSTERY OUT OF LEADERSHIP AND OUT OF COMPLEXITY. IT MAKES LEADING IN OUR TIMES SEEM MORE NATURAL. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE WAY PRINCIPLES LIKE AXIS, BALANCE, CONNECTION AND THE SUBTLETIES OF COMMUNICATION WERE TRANSLATED INTO BUSINESS AND CORPORATE SETTINGS. I SEE WAYS OF USING THIS RIGHT AWAY AND THE SEMINAR HAS TRULY TRANSFORMED MY THINKING.
