By strengthening your ability to:

• anticipate and navigate continuous and disruptive changes.
• mobilise your team with insightful and inclusive leadership approaches.
• Develop leadership in others to strengthen team resilience and performance

Many managers across the peace & security landscape experience being in a kind of perpetual crisis mode. They are expected to anticipate and manage changes, while supporting and empowering their team, and deliver results during a time of multiple social, technical, political, and operational disruptions.

This requires strengthened ways of leading often highly diverse teams, continuously making sense of and quickly adapting to evolving scenarios.

An innovative blend of Leadership approaches, increased self-awareness, and Strategic Foresight practices form the core of this course, grounded in real-world scenarios.

Participants will learn to collectively think and envision different situations and possible decisions and actions to be taken in an interactive and exchange rich programme.

This combination of human-centered leadership approaches, increasing your self-awareness, and Strategic Foresight practices has been unique designed to meet the needs of today’s teams.

The course will be led by GCSP and Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) experts in Leadership and Strategic Foresight.

Participants will grow their network and access to like-minded peace and security professionals from around the world.
