Leading through Turbulent Times: The Art of Effective Execution

with Lasse Wrennmark

What are the critical components of leadership that are effective even in the midst of turbulence? How can we integrate our personal values and passion with the corporate agenda? This module answers these questions and results in a more authentic and consistent style of leadership based on your true strengths, values and purpose. This will enable you to be a more authentic and decisive leader with a stronger moral compass and improved alignment in your life and work.

The module is based on Brian Bacon's celebrated Self-Managing Leadership course, which has over 100,000 alumni from 90 countries, and which provides a step-by-step structure for rethinking leadership styles and refocusing life and career.  In this module you will develop a clearer sense of direction, clarify your options, and develop the inner power necessary to make tough choices and decisions. You will hear stories from the front lines of leadership in governments and multinational corporations worldwide and see the implications of today's global environment for all aspects of your own work and life. You will get a clear focus on who you are, what you want, where you're going, and how to get there. You will go beyond self-evident leadership tricks into an exploration of the subtle keys to getting things done through others – being the detached observer, facilitating meaningful dialogue, drilling to find to the root cause, keeping an active not-to-do list, leading from behind, acting decisively, and being the embodiment of humility. You will also develop a personal action plan for the next chapter of your life, including your work, family, and personal development.
