Today’s companies strive to be customer-centric and able to seize new opportunities that will win in the marketplace. This level of innovation and agility requires leaders to push power, decision making, and resource allocation lower in the organization—but how do they do it without losing control and falling into chaos? The answer is nimble leadership, an approach to architecting and leading an organization that frees people to innovate without sacrificing alignment and accountability. MIT Sloan Research Scientist Kate Isaacs will share how nimble leadership can be achieved, enabling a team-based, networked organization where people at all levels can dream up new ideas and bring them to life.
This pre-recorded session covers:
• The three interlocking components of a nimble organization (culture, structure, and leadership practices) that free people to create
• How to diagnose the risks and barriers to change in your organization
• Real-world examples of companies that have become nimble and thrived as a result
