Develop an adaptive approach to leadership to create a work environment that supports and drives employee performance.

Traditional models of leadership tend to focus on how leaders should behave, assuming that these behaviors and tasks will lead to high performance and success, regardless of context. In a simple and stable environment, this approach may be effective, but today’s business world is far from simple or stable. As the corporate landscape becomes more changeable and complex — with multicultural teams, hybrid working, competitive markets, faster product cycles, digitalization and AI — there is an urgent need for organizations and their leaders to become more agile and flexible in how they respond. They should pay attention to the context in which they operate, be ready to deploy a range of leadership approaches, and adapt as their business landscape changes.

Based on years of research by the Program Directors, the Organizational Leadership: Driving Culture and Performance online program from the Institute for Management Development (IMD) is designed to enhance your impact as a leader. It explains how you can achieve this impact by improving and adapting the workplace environments you create for your business and teams. You’ll be introduced to, and have the opportunity to create a Leadership Operating System (OS) built on the foundations of trust, clarity, and momentum. Over five weeks, you’ll explore the elements of the Leadership OS and discover how to use it to motivate people and set the tone for organizational culture and performance. Walk away with your tailored Leadership OS action plan, ready to implement immediate changes in your own business.
