Event Details
BritCham Shanghai invites managers and consultants to this session to understand the reality of implementing Agile Leadership, recognise the ancient Chinese philosophy behind it and learn about the new science underpinning it.
A popular dictionary definition of Agile Leadership is "The craft of creating the right context for self-organisation". Unfortunately, it has become a bit of a buzz word. So many have put some old consulting/services "wine" into new agile "bottles". What is the reality? This event will outline the old Chinese wisdom and new western science behind the buzz word. You will also hear from leaders who have applied it and enabled "self-organisation" within a "hierarchy". The paradox is that Agile Leadership, when correctly applied, can enable self-organisation to thrive yet still remain within a strictly defined hierarchy.
Agenda:
5:00 pm - 5:30 pm:Registration and networking
5:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Introduction to the ancient Chinese philosophy and very modern western science underpinning Agile Leadership, and Leadership 4.0 for VUCA* times
6:00 pm - 6:30 pm: Panel discussion – senior leaders who have recently implemented this new approach
6:30 pm - 7:00 pm: Q&A, networking
*VUCA: volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity
