Discover how social dreaming reveals hidden organisational dynamics to strengthen leadership insight, communication and collaboration.
Topic: What keeps leaders awake at night? Exploring the collective mind of organisations
Synopsis: In turbulent times marked by uncertainty, rapid change and rising anxiety, organisations often struggle to see the deeper forces shaping behaviour and decision making. In this exclusive webinar with Professor Michael Jarrett, Programme Director of the Executive Master in Change, we invite you to explore social dreaming, a structured method for exploring the unconscious dynamics operating within contemporary social groups.
Drawing on recent research, this webinar offers a rare opportunity to experience how shared dreams can reveal unconscious concerns and emotions. You will discover how leaders can use this approach to unlock improved communication, collaboration, and a more comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play within groups.
