Training
Classically socialized leaders, according to the persistently recurring complaint of agile practitioners, do not support change enough and are also reluctant to change themselves. This is precisely where our "Agile Leadership" offer comes in.
In our experience, there is neither political calculation nor malicious intent behind the latent management blockades. Rather, in many places there is simply a lack of knowledge and practical practice, without which there can be no improvement.
We want to address both with our lean learning course "Agile Leadership". Through the combination of joint training days, individual coaching and collegial exchange, you will equip yourself for the most important tasks of the agile age. For this purpose, the training course combines sound know-how with practical application exercises and concrete implementation steps for your everyday work.
In addition to the workshops for the whole group, our experienced leadership coaches offer person-oriented sparring for the most effective transfer of what has been learned. In addition, we encourage self-organized exchange among the participants and provide proven methods such as case work, lean coffee or collegial feedback.
What you get from the "Agile Leadership" learning course
Sound know-how: Benefit from the insights of our leadership experts
Practical orientation: deepen your understanding through concrete case studies, peer consultation on selected problems and selected exercises
Open exchange: Discover a wide variety of experiences with agility and self-organization
Consistent alignment with your interests: in the form of virtual queries, joint retrospectives or individual sparring, in which you can work on your most important concerns in a protected setting
Ongoing transfer of the contents & methods: Translate what you learn into your own work environment and gain new experience.
The focus on in-house learning guarantees maximum concentration on the leadership environment at hand and helps to generate potentially directional insights. This is supported not least by the intensive exchange with the training sponsor.
