This experiential program uses lectures, individual and team exercises, and role-play to shift participants’ thinking about leadership. Participants learn the basics of what makes an organization a matrix—an organization that relies on cross-functional operations—as they explore the roles and relationships that exist across today’s complex organizations. They acquire tools to help them make the shift from using authority to lead teams to applying collaborative leadership tools and techniques to build buy-in and commitment among groups of stakeholders. The course sets the stage for adopting a collaborative leadership approach, building and managing win-win partnerships.
