About the Course

Nowadays, the future is less and less predictive, the models and theories are changing all the time, and globalisation fosters the significant transformations we face. These uncertain times came to stay, and many organisations have leaders in place who have never led through an uncertain landscape.

This Leading with Agility and Resilience training course is designed because organisations need to have the ability to develop and quickly apply flexible, agile, and dynamic capabilities. Leaders must clearly identify their roadblocks, allocate the proper resources to overcome the challenges, and fill the needed gaps.

As leaders, we must develop the capacity to adapt to change using the skills and resources to reach a better state than the previous disruption, so we need to be resilient. Furthermore, we need the ability to adapt to change in anticipation of disruptions and agility. Different but complementary, resilience and agility are antidotes to providing a cure for the disruptions that affect our organizations and our lives.

It will create reserves of patience and stocks of stamina to fight back and recuperate from cumbersome situations. As a result, leaders will be able to prepare themselves to be agile and resilient so they will respond effectively to a less predictable world.

Core Objectives

After completing this training course, each delegate will be able to understand better how to lead with agility and resilience, especially during uncertain times, as we leave now.

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Reflect on the importance of leading with resilience and agility 
• Recognise the uncertain times as key moments to lead teams
• Improve the level of resilience
• Enhance the agility and ability to act quickly
• Recognise strategies to lead and drive agility and resilience in your teams
• Build your personal plan to develop agility and resilience

Training Approach

This training course is driven by a blended learning approach based on adult learning techniques such as lectures, video presentations, trainer-facilitated workshop exercises, case studies, self-reflection, and debates. The different methods will lead to higher engagement because the delegates will be doing things and thinking about what they are doing. Furthermore, it will build self-confidence, and they will be pulled out of their comfort zones to share their thoughts, opinions, and conclusions about specific topics. Lastly, this blended learning approach will allow instant feedback and improvement and stretch creativity and innovation.
