Traditional approaches to leadership and developing leaders are becoming less effective in this rapid changing environment. This workshop will introduce complexity science to participants and show how its application to organisational, leadership and talent development can obtain better results faster and with less effort.

This approach recently won the 2017 International EFMD Gold Award for Nokia in the category of Executive Development. It is based on the well-researched and international best-selling book “Complex Adaptive Leadership – Embracing paradox and uncertainty” (recently translated into Chinese as 未来领导力).

Participants of this highly interactive and fun workshop will:
  • Learn about why we need to apply a new science to leadership
  • Use an online assessment tool to see how well placed their organisation is and to get a personalised report on how effective their choice of leadership behaviour is
  • Understand what it takes to design and run an award winning executive development program
  • Have the opportunity to obtain a copy of the best-selling book, signed by the author
