Course Overview

Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in self-managing team structures is earned separately. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on this strand of organisational leadership, which nobody trained them for. Participants gain a realistic view of what the organisational leadership capability costs and what it returns. What blocks progress on self-managing team structures is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the practice within organisational leadership in their own setting. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of organisational leadership, not for observers of it. Comparative studies of self-managing team structures across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. This programme builds this aspect of organisational leadership from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of organisational leadership that each participant writes for their own organisation.
