Leading Organisations
Leading effectively requires the capacity to “grow” with one’s organization, adapt flexibly to the changing demands of the company and its task environment, and continue to develop and learn. Importantly, it requires one to master the psychology of power in leadership— the ability to navigate organizational landscapes and lead without formal authority.
This programme will explore the challenge of transitioning to leadership roles and how do legal leaders develop a culture that fosters personal and professional growth and psychological safety. Through the use of a real-world case and Power and Influence stimulation, Participants will delve into the dynamic world of organizational change and gain insights into navigating organizational politics and people dynamics.
Leading Self & Others
To make complex decision through ambiguity, leaders need to engage in critical thinking to make sure that the data they are using is relevant and of high quality. A decision-making exercise will be used to discuss predictable problems when making decisions under uncertainty and incomplete information, and how leaders can achieve their goals by creating a process that helps them structure the decision-making process.
In Leading Others, the ability to lead teams and collaborate across business units is fundamental for leaders. Leaders need to be able to draw on the expertise, experience, and insights from diverse individuals to find cutting-edge solutions to overcome the complex challenges in today’s business world. The session will discuss strategies and techniques for optimizing group performance, how to empower others in your group, how to lead by example, and how to align individual and group objectives.
