Responding to Leadership Challenges

Leaders need to be able to effectively respond to new types of challenges, problems and opportunities to be successful 

We are living and leading in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world and leaders are facing different types of challenges and opportunities than they did a decade or two ago.

The rate, pace and types of change occurring mean that Leaders need to be able to recognise the type of challenges they are facing and respond accordingly. 

Research shows that many of the mistakes Leaders make a self-created, and a reflection of Leadership style, not a lack of resources or time! 

In this session, we consider the different categories of challenges and how Leaders can best respond to these. We also look at the opportunities that sit within our problems, and issues, and how effective Leaders turn such adversities into wins and successes. 

Attendees can expect live polling and practical strategies you can apply on a daily basis.

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will gain:

•    an understanding of the difference between adaptive and technical challenges, be able to differentiate between them and clearly articulate this to others.

•    the ability to map the best next steps in the face of an adaptive challenge and lead others on that journey

•    an understanding of some of their personal limitations in the face of Leadership challenges such as the tendency to avoid, to react (rather than respond), to wait for perfection or to control

•    clarity and feel more confident about the VUCA environment we are immersed in, how to express it to others, and lead a team or firm through it

•    an understanding of how Personal Power makes all the difference in Leading effectively right now, and the steps to stay in our power rather than collapse into a disempowered state
