Overview

Modern leadership involves sharing information, creating a higher level of trust, and promoting a sense of inclusion and belonging. It also requires the ability to thrive in situations in which there are high levels of uncertainty and ambiguity, and to bring creative ideas to complex challenges.

Some leaders thrive in complex operating environments because of an inherent curiosity and openness, but effective approaches to dealing with complexity can also be learned. What you can expect from this course is a context to think systematically and critically about your education, your experiences and your work environment. This will allow you to establish behaviors that will help you increase your effectiveness every time you face volatility and uncertainty. We will lay the foundation in this course for the continuous improvement that is necessary to thrive in a complex world.
