In agile, dynamic environments, leaders need more than methodological knowledge: they need a sound understanding of leadership and practical skills to empower teams, provide orientation and effectively shape change. This is exactly what Agile Leadership Training delivers. You will learn how to use modern leadership principles effectively in your organization, give meaning and direction, strengthen self- and team leadership, moderate retrospectives, use feedback and coaching confidently and drive cultural and change work in a targeted manner. The aim is to measurably increase leadership effectiveness – for better cooperation, faster decisions and more responsibility in the team.
