Course Overview
Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in values-based leadership is earned separately. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on the organisational leadership discipline, which nobody trained them for. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the organisational leadership capability rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what values-based leadership has actually achieved. It is written for people who have to make this area of organisational leadership work with the resources they already have. Moving the organisational leadership capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in values-based leadership, not around theory headings. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the organisational leadership discipline outperform teams that only plan it. The final session converts the week's work on this area of organisational leadership into commitments with owners and dates.
