Creative Leadership – The Hybrid Journey

 We now offer our highly recognized and popular Creative Leadership program as an online course. We call it Creative Leadership – The Hybrid Journey.

Leadership plays a defining role in a company’s ability to innovate, cope with change as well as employees well-being and job satisfaction. Make sure you are prepared with our online Creative Leadership training program.

All sessions, except Module 3, are online and will happen via Zoom. However, there are several advantages associated with online training programs for those who are not able to physically travel to off-site workshops. For instance, online training programs tend to be more cost-effective due to the lack of costs to travel, parking, food etc. Also, a well-thought-out and well-implemented online course is just as captivating, rewarding, and developing as an offline course.

Therefore, with our online Creative Leadership program, you will experience the same high-quality education as if you were attending it physically – and you will actually experience both the online and the offline learning space, since the third module will be held in person.

You will learn how to lead and motivate your team to navigate and thrive in constantly changing environments and how to nurture and foster creativity within your organisation.

Program Overview

Today, working in organisations, private companies and public institutions is complex. It is dominated by rapid and disruptive change. This calls for leaders who can navigate and lead in such environments, but also motivate and inspire employees and creative teams to thrive.

Therefore, a new and different type of leadership is needed in today’s world and for the future. A leadership that fosters co-creation, continuous learning, curiosity, and commitment. A well-educated creative leader understands the difference between “me” and “we” and can shift focus from instruction to inspiration and motivation, and from ordinary to extraordinary.

During this program, you will be given the tools, methodologies, and mindset required to lead a creative organisation or a creative team. You will learn to create together on a higher level and be able to foster and nurture powerful creative processes to build collective capacity of your team.
