Applications are invited for an Online Course on – Lead Together- APAC from July 15 to August 15, 2024. Check the details below!
About the Course
You want to distribute power and responsibility in your organisation. You want to enable your colleagues, peers and employees to be more directly involved in decisions, agreements and strategies. But you don’t know where to start.
You’ve tried a few things but it’s hard to get and sustain engagement and participation.
Take a breath. Imagine a work-life of shared accountability and commitment.
In this course you’ll grow your confidence with practices and approaches to help you decide how to decide together. And to help make it real, you’ll design experiments to bring back to your own team so you can start building those muscles together.
Who can attend?
- You are a progressive leader who wants to create a more human workplace
- You believe great ideas and the ability to make change are not ‘title’ dependant
- You want to take control of your work experience and create more joy for yourself and others.
Learnings
Leading Together starts with our individual understanding and embodiment of what it means to lead together and how, as an individual, you currently practice and empower through example. Something better is possible when we lead shoulder to shoulder and create the conditions for all development. The course will include actionable methods in often limiting areas of current leadership practices.
We will explore individual and collective practices around:
- Roles and Agreements – Leaders are powerful because they have more context; by distributing context through the co-development of clear roles and agreements, we also enable the distribution of power and leadership. But what does this look like in practice?
- How to be in Adult-to-Adult relationships at work – When we lead together, we no longer look towards a single leader or manager in the system, and we step outside of parent-child dynamics and into adult-adult dynamics. This shift is bigger than we think and involves a lot of…
- … Deliberate Development – Leading together requires deliberate development, individually and collectively. Beyond mutual accountability, how do we create supportive containers for mutual growth?
- The Courage to Practice – It is not enough to learn the theory. We must also practice – but before we can practice we must develop our courage too. Where can we develop our courage to practice? How can we find mutual support to do so?
- Collective Decision Making – We shy away from making decisions as a group because we fear it will take too much time and sap energy – is it possible to make collective decisions and be clear about where decision-making authority lies without slowing down? Emphatically, yes!
- Emergent Strategy – Making sense of and making decisions about strategy is often considered an executive-level decision. What if you could distribute strategy-making throughout your organisation? You can and you should.
- Power-over and Power-with / Purpose and Power – How do we work with power as we intentionally distribute leadership? How do we navigate resistance to transformation when you are no longer in the business of “command and control”, “getting buy-in”, or “convincing”?
