Learning objectives
Approach
Preparation
You will receive a scientific article on leadership styles and the influence of leadership styles on the results and the organisational climate of organisations.
The session
You will receive a brief explanation of the theory. What does scientific research say about the influence of leadership styles on the results and the organisational climate of organisations? Then we will look at the pros and cons for each style.
Then you walk (literally) past the different styles. What does this evoke? What attracts you? What doesn’t? How does this affect you and your employees? In groups, you and the other participants share anecdotes to learn from each other.
Finally, you reflect on a challenging situation: what styles do you apply in it? Which styles would be most effective? What can you do yourself to increase your effectiveness?
Securing
You will bring your 3 most important understandings and actions to apply in your daily practice.
