SUMMARY:Innovation\, Culture and a Growth Mindset
DESCRIPTION:This 60-minute webinar for business leaders could transform the way you approach workplace innovation. \nThe global operating environment is currently one of volatility\, uncertainty\, complexity\, and ambiguity (VUCA). To remain competitive and thrive in this world\, businesses have no option but to prioritise innovation. Not simply in terms of the products or services they offer\, but in their culture. \nThis masterclass will be delivered by the Conference Board. The speaker is John Metselaar Professor ‘Leading and Living Innovation’\, Solvay Brussels School of Economics Belgium. \nThe masterclass will Introduce an integrated framework to organise for this. Introduce a “Generative Leadership” framework to get us (re-)grounded on the fundamentals what leaders DO (or should do). \nThis covers: \nEnvisioning (purpose\, objectives\, goals\, strategy)\,\nEnabling to Execute (“execution is the only strategy the consumer ever sees)\, and\nEngaging and Empowering (motivating your people\, teams\, and organisation toward a desired culture). \nAs Innovation is a human team sport culture\, often is the most difficult element for leaders to get a handle on – as it deals with human emotions. In order to be able to effectively “own” culture (and not just delegate to HR) Generative Leaders need to internalise not only what they do\, but also who they ARE (or should be). \nExplore applying the trinity of:- \nMind (a Growth Mindset)\,\nHeart (Authenticity behind Vulnerability)\, and\nGut (through Psychological Safety) to your leadership toolkit.
