Introduction
Complex issues, shifting circumstances, a complex stakeholder field and continuous change play a role in almost every organization. These challenges cannot be met solely through decisiveness, strict processes and clear policy. It is time for leadership in which you solve issues together and further the development of the organization. We call that 'shared leadership'. The essence of shared leadership is that you work together on the basis of equality, not equality, with everyone taking his or her role. Part of this may involve dividing management tasks within the team, something that can be discussed during your case discussions.
Dialogue is an important factor in creating shared leadership. In this master class you will learn how to strengthen dialogue through Dialogical Leadership. In yourself and with others. So that the organization, and you as a leader, can act effectively, ethically and authentically.
Participant profile
Participants in the Dialogical Leadership Master Class are leaders from the business world and the public and non-profit sectors. Their areas of responsibility are fraught with complex issues. They want to strengthen dialogue and thus also shared leadership within their organizations. Not only between colleagues and within the hierarchy, but also within the Board and the Management. Participants are looking for scientific insights and practical added value.
Why this program
People often have one, or perhaps two perspectives on a task. This makes it difficult to make a decision based on multiple perspectives on your own. You need other people for that. The Dialogical Leadership Master Class focuses on dialogue with yourself, with your team, and at the organizational level. You learn how to be as open as possible to different perspectives. With Dialogical Leadership, you and your colleagues take on and resolve the complex issues under your responsibility, with shared ownership. At the end of the day, you enjoy better decision-making and faster execution. The master class is highly interactive: you present your own situation and work on further developing your leadership skills.
What will the program bring you?
You know how to strengthen dialog in yourself and in your team.
You’re able to take on different perspectives, to stay in better touch with different people and in different circumstances.
You can deploy dialog for shared leadership, to better handle complex issues.
You understand how to lay the groundwork for dialog between hierarchical layers as well.
About this program
In this masterclass, you will experientially apply theory. That is why preparation for the masterclass is essential: you will follow an e-learning course, read, do exercises, and prepare case studies. During the physical meetings, we will deepen your internal dialogue, the choice of conversation format, the support within the organization, and the dialogue with others. There will be a lot of reflection and practice together. We will also make connections with other common leadership approaches, so that you can consciously choose which approach suits you and the task that you, your team, and the organization are facing.
