The path to Agile Leadership

Training offer

CAL II is a combination of independent development of topics on Agile Leadership and deepening of the content in online sessions, leaving plenty of room for discussion and exchange of personal experiences.
We had very intensive and entertaining online sessions with many suggestions from Krishan as an experienced trainer to implement in practice. I can recommend the training to anyone who wants to deal with the topic of agile leadership and develop into an agile leader.

Particularly noteworthy is the calm content delivery at all times, powerful in volume but content-focused at all times.
Small groups, space for understanding and exchange as well as a variety of literature recommendations round off the personal further learning.
On the journey from old ways of thinking to understanding agile leadership methodologies and fundamentals, I can recommend Krishan.

Part 1: Training

The first block consists of three days (3 x 1 day) of workshop and interactive training on the following topics

E: Leadership Essentials
T: Team Leadership)
O: Leading the Organization

Part 2: Development program

The second block consists of accompaniment and joint work for about three months.

We start two cohorts a year: the start is in January and in September.

Self-directed learning

Learning and development does not work with training alone: what is learned must also be transferred into practice, must prove itself in one’s own environment and, last but not least, must also fit in with other practices.

We call this the 70:20:10 rule:

Training: 10% of the training us “classroom” situations, firmly planned, largely fixed agenda.
Cohort or team: 20% collaborative team learning, often with supervision from a coach.
On my own and with peer feedback in my team: 70% as part of normal work and with individual rhythm and schedule.

This means that all important activities depend on personal initiative.

We believe that people who want to become leaders and are able to do so will show this initiative. Therefore, this program relies heavily on self-work, encouraging peer support and feedback.

However, the elements are not equally distributed over the course of a learning journey: At the beginning we place some trainings to give orientation, build structure and knowledge, which are important as you drive the growth more and more autonomously.

Later, the program focuses on: increasing skills, accompanying implementation, building own experience, strengthening impact.
