workshop overview

Note: Think1™ Leader is available only as a dedicated class.

We know that being a leader today is more complex than ever before. We know from our research, that leaders must be able to understand, translate and align the overall strategic direction of the organization. They must be able to lead change; make effective and efficient decisions; grow and develop their people; work effectively with and through others; and communicate up, down and across the organization. All this, and focus on business results and customer relationships.

 

Leaders need to draw on a number of different competencies to lead in an ever-changing environment. Up until now, the learner is often required to learn one competency at a time. They are also required to integrate past learning and new learning on their own. We have identified a paradox between learning and thinking. True leadership thinking is less about accessing and applying discreet competencies than it is about a complex integration of information and skills – both coming together at once to understand, to solve, to innovate, to lead. Integrative thinking requires an integrative approach to learning.
