Leadership and change go hand in hand
To run a sustainable organisations you need leaders that can drive change. However, it is exactly this part of leadership that is the hardest to get right.
Workz prepare organisations for change through organisational empowerment and training of core leadership competencies. For instance, people leadership and change management. We do this through leadership simulations, academies and summits. Our focus is on the human side of leadership – helping leaders better understand themselves as leaders as well as their teams and the strategic context they are a part of.
Change is the hardest part of leadership
Most leaders are experts in their field, but only a few are trained in leading people and change. The leadership teams of most organisations needs help fulfilling their potential as leaders.
Why is it a challenge?
Leading change
Running the business effectively is no longer enough. The focus on the role of leadership in driving change is increasing as organisations need to react to an ever more complex world.
Leading for empowerment
It is impossible to choose between agility and autonomy on one side, and alignment and structure on the other. In fact, you need both at the same time. And leaders are struggling with this paradox.
Bespoke leadership
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to leadership. The perfect leadership culture has to fit the leadership team, the organisation and the strategy.
Leadership academies
To make sure the leadership fits their context, more and more organisations chose to develop their own internal leadership programs.
Workz design end-to-end leadership academies that trains leaders in leading themselves, leading their teams and leading the business. Doing this, we draw on a large repository of methods, concepts and off-the-self tools, but we always customise these to fit the context of the organisation.
We collaborate closely with internal P&O resources and other external vendors in the development. And when we are done, we can either train in-house facilitators to take over or help run the academies ourselves or using facilitators from our global network.
Plug-ins to existing programmes
Maybe you have an existing leadership development set-up that are in need of an update to make it more engaging or tailer it more to your needs? Maybe you want to add more individual reflection and increase transfer from the classroom to actual behaviour on the job?
You do not have to start from scratch though. Workz can develop engaging virtual or in-person plug-in training modules for your existing program. This way you get the benefits of our large toolbox of leadership development concepts, but you keep the stuff that already works for you.
We help clients in every step of the process. From identifying and prioritising learning objectives, over designing modules to address these, to facilitating the training.
Leadership meetings
The annual leadership meeting is the heartbeat of an organisation. For global organisations, this is the only time they are able to have a dialogue with all leaders at the same time.
Workz have developed and executed leadership meetings for some of the largest Danish and international corporations. We always do this with a focus on moving from communication to dialogue, and activating the collective brainpower of your leadership team.
We use our process tools and games to cut to the core of the matter and get the most out of the time you spend together.
