Making Progress Webinar 2/4 : Diagnose Situation

Are you ready to strengthen your leadership practice?

Making Progress is a new online workshop series designed exclusively for Leadership Victoria Alumni who want to continue strengthening your leadership practice in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

Grounded in Adaptive Leadership and Vertical Leadership Development, these interactive 90 minute online workshops invite Alumni back into the leadership laboratory. Not to revisit what you learned, but to apply it to the challenges you are facing now.

Take advantage of the exclusive Making Progress Series Pass to secure your place at all four of these valuable sessions.

Join us for the second workshop in the series, Diagnose Situation.

Before you can change a system, you need to understand what kind of challenge you're actually facing. Is it a technical problem with an existing solution, or an adaptive challenge that requires people to learn, change and think differently? This interactive workshop focuses on one of the most important disciplines of leadership: diagnosis, stepping from the dance floor to the balcony to understand what is really happening beneath the surface. You'll work with a real challenge from your own leadership context and strengthen your ability to read the system, identify key dynamics and distinguish symptoms from causes.

Together, we'll explore themes including:

• Technical problems and adaptive challenges

• Competing perspectives and interpretations

• Systemic dynamics beneath the surface

• Distinguishing symptoms from causes

• Where leadership is needed most

You'll leave with:

• A clearer diagnosis of a real leadership challenge

• Greater confidence distinguishing technical and adaptive work

• New perspectives on the dynamics shaping progress and resistance

• Practical tools for seeing systems more clearly

Part of a four-part series

Diagnose Situation is the second of four connected workshops in the Making Progress series. Across the four sessions, you'll move through the core disciplines of Adaptive Leadership - from understanding yourself, to reading the system, to mobilising others, to acting with judgement when there are no easy answers.

Each workshop builds on the last, so the real value comes from experiencing the full arc. But each session will make sense as a standalone session too.

Secure your place at all four with the exclusive 'Making Progress Series Pass' at a discounted rate, or book each session individually.
