Developing shared leadership for agile organizations- by Dr. Neha Chatwani
Course Overview Video
Why should (mid-)level managers enroll in this course?
In times of disruption specifically mid-managers are caught in the middle. During the pandemic the necessity of middle management was even questioned as workers were working well remotely without much supervision. In the meanwhile the dark side of hybrid and remote working is also emerging. Professionals are isolated, disengagement and the corporate culture fragmented. Therefore, it is not unlikely that middle management will continue to play an important role in retaining and motivating scarce talent in the future. The role of middle management is evolving while companies will need to become more agile in order to innovate and stay on top of their game.
This short course discusses shared leadership as an opportunity for agility and innovation. Against the backdrop of agility, shared leadership also offers an opportunity for leaders to navigate teams in disruptive times. The course is interactive and practical. Learners will have the opportunity to discuss, bring their case study to class and explore to create their own leadership identity for success.
