Public Workshop: Leadership Agility for HR Professionals
I led a one-day version of the Agile Change Leadership Lab with Charlotte Kells, a great friend and colleague, who contributed to the original design of this workshop. This event was sponsored by NEHRA, the New England Human Resource Association, and was attended by over 20 HR professionals. As in the two-day workshop, participants focused throughout on a key organizational change initiative of their choice. With the help of focused reflection and structured peer coaching, they each came away with an action plan for their initiative and for their continued development as HR leaders.
Our new book, Leadership Agility, clearly describes the inner capacities and core competencies of highly agile leaders. With over twenty real-life stories, it also identifies the five stages of levels that managers move through to master leadership agility.
Written in an engaging, down-to-earth style, this ground-breaking book is designed as a roadmap that tells you how to bring increased agility to the initiatives you take every day — whether you want to improve working relationships, develop your team, or change your organization.
This 29-page white paper tells the story of an executive team that transformed themselves and their business by learning a new approach to high-impact conversations. Provides a detailed inside view of the learning process that takes place in our Pivotal Conversations Learning Lab.
The Leadership Agility white paper is essentially an executive summary of the book. It clarifies why agility has become essential to leadership effectiveness, outlines the five levels of agility described in the book, identifies the four kinds of agility needed for successful leadership initiatives, and provides tips for becoming a more agile leader and helping others do the same.
The Leadership Agility Thought-Letter goes beyond what you'll find in the book. It provides you with applications of Leadership Agility principles and methods that you can use every day, plus updates about Leadership Agility resources.
