In this course we discuss how learning and development can enhance the role and contribution of managers in delivering organizational goals. We start with a brief overview of how in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous business environment, management is the key differentiator between success or failure to an organization.
This leads to a conversation about how Management Development should focus less on management skills and more concerned with four key dimensions: the ability to articulate vision, create a shared understanding, having clarity of thought within chaos and the agility to collaborate to bring about rapid change.
This course offers a critical perspective on organization development and highlights the direct connection between a commitment to ongoing OD approaches and the achievement of organizational purpose.
