Module Overview:
Leading yourself and others is always both challenging and rewarding, but a leader’s true mettle is tested in dynamic and disruptive conditions. When uncertainty is high and the ground is shifting under your feet, an adaptive mindset is vital. Leading in disruptive times requires accepting the new reality (releasing long held beliefs) and adjusting your thinking (updating assumptions) while determining viable options and keeping your team focused and motivated.
This module focuses on the leader’s ability to navigate uncertainty and lead successfully during disruptive times. It will explore leadership techniques to use when the situation is changing in unexpected ways and the plans you’ve made need to be changed or entirely re-worked.

Assessment & Further Learning
Module Overview:
In leadership as in life, only practice makes perfect. In the words of Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Habits are powerful. They can lock us into negative behaviours or train us to act automatically in ways that benefit us. Routines quietly undergird large portions of what we do and how we function. Habit formation can speed success in the workplace and even in complex areas like leadership.
Leadership, at its core, is a set of habits. How we interact with co-workers, customers, how we answer the phone, make decisions, plan and delegate work, or empower our employees are all to some degree influenced by habits. Positive habits make us better leaders, while negative habits hinder our performance.
Many of us aspire to great leadership, consuming books and training. But unless you intentionally reinforce the right behaviours, results are fleeting.
This module offers a comprehensive guide for transforming your leadership effectiveness. It will explore the theory around it, the definition of success, the key steps on how to develop a habit, and explore the habits of highly successful people.
