Leading Authentically in Digital Times

The introductory module will cover what has changed in the world and how those changes impact leaders and organizations. You will be able to evaluate your current leadership habits through the QiLeader test. You will understand habits and neuroplasticity and apply a simple method for building powerful habits. Since the goal of this course is to increase your impact and peacefulness, we will help you define what it is you would like to achieve and translate that into a personal QiLeader plan.

Habit One is all about changing your mindset - reinventing yourself or your organization instead of doing more of the same. You will learn to master the habit of managing your interpretations before your actions. You will discover that by changing your observation, you will uncover possible new actions that weren’t visible to you before. Your impact will increase tremendously. This methodology is based on the latest neuroscience. You will practice the five body dispositions of a QiLeader and understand when to apply them.

Habit Two will uncover the secret of managing your energy and fears instead of your time. A high energy level is key for learning the new skills necessary for a digital transformation. You will be able to go out of your comfort zone with more ease, grow as a leader, and seize the opportunities that lie ahead of you instead of fearing or ignoring them. Knowing and answering the three basic needs of your ego will further increase your confidence. Your decision process will benefit strongly because fear often stands in the way of good decisions.

With the Third habit, you will understand why it has become so difficult to focus and what the barriers are to focusing. You will learn how to solve issues structurally in digital times. Instead of working on symptoms, you will be able to solve core issues, eliminating many different symptoms at one time. You will learn how to manage through chaos and how to let go. Paradoxically, by learning to let go when necessary, you will become more in control of the results. This is key to increasing the agility in your organization and increasing the empowerment of your people.

The Fourth habit is about increasing your results through better relationships. You will learn what the best teams in the world have in common and how to apply those characteristics to your team. This module is also crucial if you need to build an ecosystem with great partnerships (internally or externally). You will understand how to manage the mood of your team or organization and what the four basic moods are. You will also know how to increase trust and what the impact is on your financial results. You will be given the opportunity to test your personality type and embrace your strengths.

In module 6, we will play with the four habits and learn to apply them to real work situations. We will go through the different stages of any transformation so that you can learn to identify these for yourself or your organization. You will also finalize your personal QiLeader plan and decide on which habit you will focus first.
