Transformational Leadership in Turbulent Times

In this programme, we put the question of how managers can lead employees in times of change for maximal commitment and motivation centre-stage.

In times of crisis such as COVID-19, or rapidly changing business contexts, change is inevitable, and managers depend more than ever on their subordinates to get results.

Employees may thus represent both a key resource and a liability for managerial success. Tapping the full potential of employees, however, may require leadership and people management skills that stretch beyond ordinary managerial competences.

Grounded in rigorous, cutting-edge research, the programme aims to provide you with inspiration, hands-on tools, and knowledge that may enhance your emotional and leadership skills for managerial results.

• Inspire and motivate your employees under adversarial conditions
• Flexibly adapt your leadership style to meet the needs of your employees
• Effectively promote change in your organisation, and breach resistance
• Persuade your peers and get their buy-in to a new business idea they might find little appealing
• Create a culture in your teams where employees see failure as a learning opportunity.

The Live Online format of this programme provides the same, high-quality learning experience you can expect from Cambridge, where you will benefit from face-to-face interactions and discussions with your fellow participants and our world-class faculty.

Transformational Leadership in Turbulent Times is a new programme delivered in a Live Online format, with four sessions spread out over the course of four half-days. The Live Online format provides the same, high-quality learning experience you can expect from Cambridge, where you will benefit from face-to-face interactions and discussions with your fellow participants and our world-class faculty.

The leadership element focuses much more on leadership authenticity; reflecting our fluid environment.
