Course Introduction
“80 percent of Leaders who change their behaviour after training go back to their old ways within six months, often because the training was too voluminous, hard to remember and difficult to apply.” - Grovo and Wakefield Research, 2016
The urge -for better management and leadership trainings- has never been as much needed as now in the VUCA world. Leading employees in a VUCA environment requires a different kind of mindset and skills than what was practiced in earlier times. Leaders now need to move beyond business-as-usual and find ways to thrive in the complex and uncertain environment in which we live and work.
This training course is designed to provide participants with the relevant knowledge and key concepts in managing crisis in a VUCA environment, identify VUCA situations, and effectively make decisions to mitigate the effects to the organization.
