OUR PERSPECTIVES
Discover the impact of leadership styles on agile culture, business agility, organisational resilience and performance in a recession environment.
Involving others in decision-making is a key lever to motivate and engage teams, ultimately delivering better outcomes. However, many leaders struggle to genuinely empower.
Many individuals face difficulties in giving and receiving feedback, yet It is an essential skill, particularly for leaders. A positive feedback environment is a key determinant of an agile culture.
Research has shown that when employees are given more control and autonomy, they deliver a stronger performance and demonstrate greater satisfaction and commitment to their organisation.
