Course Overview

“Transformations can’t be accomplished without others helping voluntarily, & people don’t help unless you engage them first.”

-GEOFFREY A. MOORE, author: Crossing the Chasm and ZONE TO WIN

Engaging employees is essential to achieving rapid and lasting change, and invitations from leaders are a primary way to engage the workforce. The challenge is in how to safely and pragmatically balance the use of delegation and invitation to achieve the desired outcomes. Exactly how to do that is the focus of this class. If you are responsible for delivering on business agility through an agile or digital transformation, or if you provide consulting to those who do, this is your class. 

Business agility is no longer optional. Rapidly accelerating change, driven by technology, is disrupting the world of work and redefining the game of leadership. Slow-moving, top-down leadership styles are less and less effective with each passing day. The successful leaders of today are finding ways to engage the entire workforce and focus the attention of the whole enterprise on higher performance. These leaders are pivoting their style from delegation to invitation. 

INVITING LEADERSHIP is your roadmap for implementing Invitation-Based Change™ in the new world of work. This class shows you how to leverage genuine invitation to engage the workforce, and generate the positive business outcomes that come from self-managed teams. INVITING LEADERSHIP shows you how to do more with less. 

With this 1-day class, you will learn how to safely and pragmatically transform your leadership style, and your results.

“Transformation occurs through choice, not mandate. Invitation is the call to create an alternative future.“

-PETER BLOCK
