dance with your dragons
leading constructive change
In this 2-day training program you will experience an active introduction in how to enlarge and enhance your influence. You will focus on yourself, on others and on the environment in order to create the dance floor for the “dance with dragons.”
The dragons of transformation & leadership are personal limits, organizational mindsets, and the challenges of complexity. People who have the task or opportunity to lead significant change can sometimes be intimidated by the fuzzy front end of it.
Tolerance for complexity is an important skill for a change leader, as well as the ability to distinguish a problem to solve from a polarity to manage. In this training you will learn the principles of polarity thinking and practice the both/and thinking that is connected with it.
The concept of polarities is an ancient one. Research on this mode of thinking stems from the field of psychology. Barry Johnson, founder of the Polarity Partnerships, has developed a model to visualize the both/and thinking. This model, the Polarity Map, will be used in the training. You will experience the power of thinking in polarities and how it will help you to be more innovative and agile.
