Leadership Development Training
A defining feature of leadership development at the Centre for Issue and Crisis Management is that it is driven by future needs, not just past experience. Over the last 20 years, much of what constitutes leadership education has not necessarily produced ethical or highly effective leaders. Much has been made of the "crisis of leadership" and a "deficit of leadership", both in terms of commerce and politics. In 2013 the World Economic Forum in Davos highlighted a lack of clear, dynamic leadership as a global problem, focusing on the loss of trust.
With this issue in mind, CICM has produced a course that focuses on the skills and capabilities that are most likely to be required by leaders in the near future.
For leaders, problem situations in the future are likely to be replete with:
- Complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty
- Interdependence
- Reputational issues and unintended consequences
- Multiple stakeholder engagement and accountability
- Intense social media involvement
- Real-time analysis and response
