Leadership 2.0 – Leading in a Changing Landscape
For several years, we have run our businesses in periods of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). This term, introduced by US army students after the cold war, is widely accepted as the way we have come to characterise the current environment, and the leadership style required to navigate it successfully.
Never more than now has there been a requirement for leaders to step up and face unpredictable events. The role of a leader is being challenged like never before, and decision makers are being forced to change their way of leading. Too absorbed by immediate concerns to think strategically about the forces of disruption and innovation shaping our future, decisions are being made in a traditional way, through linear and non-disruptive thinking.
As a leader, you must focus to understand the accountability you hold to be an effective leader in this changing landscape, and how true acts of leadership will be measured by the lasting impact on others, and not just performance results alone.
As experts in behavioural change and leadership development, Discovery, in partnership with RS Group, have created the Strategic Leaders Programme.
The programme has been designed to enhance your ability to inspire, nurture and guide your teams to achieve the ultimate purpose in business – people helping other people to solve problems, and cascade that change throughout your teams and the wider business.
How we will achieve great results together
Throughout the programme you will be exposed to high impact and high intensity workshops, reflections and masterclasses.
Discovery will deliver your training using a three-pronged approach. This means learning by:
1. Assimilating small ‘chunks’ of knowledge (e.g. a theory or practice).
This will prevent you from being overloaded with lots of information all at once.
2. Trying the theory out in practice, but in a safe environment.
We all learn by doing. As this is an experiential programme there will be plenty of opportunities to try the theory out first, without the fear of getting it wrong. This establishes a confidence to try it out in real life. It provides an opportunity to experience the theory first hand and then reflect and review it. It will stretch and challenge you as a leader, but in a good way!
3. Developing the new skill through real life experiences and opportunities.
Through real life examples and simulated business activities you will have the chance to put your new skills into practice in a live, work environment, improving through feedback. Practice is crucial in order to cement the new learning. “Practice makes permanent”.
