Enabling Leaders

For the success of any organizational change, leaders must lead from the front. Delegating transformation efforts to an external consultant and watching from a distance is guaranteed to result in a shallow transformation, with some process improvement but little cultural shift.
For a deeper and meaningful Agile transformation, leaders must embrace an 'enabler' mindset and adopt a facilitator/coaching style while working with their teams.
These special training modules have been designed to help leaders at different levels gain the necessary knowledge/skills and improve their effectiveness as a leader.
