An excerpt from our Fair Share free course, Leading Change.
In an ever more complex world, purposefully letting go of control in an organisation is an anxious experience. However, the collective idea of the leader as a heroic visionary with loyal followers is becoming less dominant, particularly in value-led organisations.
As part of this softening of the impression of the leader, we are presenting examples of leaders whose primary task is to enable others, leaders who ‘lead from behind’ and find ways to direct without being directive.
The video above is an excerpt from our Fair Share free course, Leading Change, designed for the social economy sector but suitable to all.
To watch the whole video, please:
