Session 2

Leading disruption

To be successful in times of radical change, leaders need to move out of their comfort zones, courageously “dream big”, and proactively lead disruption.

What kind of leaders do organizations need to lead disruption successfully?

How do leaders need to grow & develop to proactively lead and disrupt (in) their industries and markets? Join us to explore these challenges with leading thinkers and successful leaders of disruption.

Session 3

You want to be a radical transformer? Be a 4-dimensional leader.

What is it like to lead today – and what about tomorrow?

One CEO said,  ,,It’s a tornado of fire and sharks.”  Another,  ,,There are two guns to my head – do one thing, the first one fires. Do another? The second one fires.”  If you are feeling the burn, join our “Fire-Side” chat. The focus will be on you.

What do YOU need to do to lead tomorrow?  We’ll look at becoming a radical transformer through different headsets and micro-behaviors.  What you emanate is the key, and it takes one millionth of one second.

Session 4

Transformational leadership@scale

Large-scale organizations present particular challenges, when we drive radical change. Transformation – in and of large organizations – means changing at scale starting with leaders.

What’s clear: we need to rethink leadership!
What needs to be discussed: how?
Discuss with top level leaders what the key challenges are in leading transformation at scale, and explore new questions we need to ask and new answers we need to find.

Session 5

Walking the transformational leadership talk

When we have successfully explored how leadership needs to change, the leadership journey only starts. It starts with ,,HOW to walk the leadership talk?”

How do we develop the courage and competencies to change and grow as a leader and as a person to drive organizational change in high-stake situations? How can we not only rethink leadership, but also co-create and implement new ways of leading teams and organizations in most effective ways? And how do we reach new levels of leadership agility – as leaders and throughout our organizations?

Immerse in a workshop-like session packed with practical fresh insights, concrete examples and high-speed peer-coaching interventions.
