Being a Modern Leader

Modern People Leadership is a paradigm shift from ‘leading products’ to ‘leading people’: You take care of the employees, so that they can take care of the business. But how?

What does it take to create the framework around your employees? And, how do you then run your business and maintain a rhythm for handling business issues and ensuring that the employees are in focus too? How do you understand motivation? How do you avoid unhealthy working climate? And finally, how do you approach distributed leadership and distributed decision making?

This Learning Path shows you:

  • how to create the framework and the rhythm,
  • how to support the development of your employees,
  • how to ensure a great working climate,
  • and how to work with distributed leadership.
