Leading in Transition, and Staying the Course – EnhanceSE workshop

In a fast-changing environment, how do social enterprises develop flexibility and agility to respond to disruption, or to be the disruptor? And how do Leaders develop survival/success strategies to strengthen their personal resilience?

This workshop will help participants: explore strategies to make your business agile and responsive; and discover tips and tactics for developing personal resilience to sustain you as a social enterprise leader. It will draw on social enterprise case studies, best practise and the latest thinking about Leadership, and provide some useful tools and tips for those in leadership roles.

This workshop is the fourth in the Better Leaders = Better Business! Series, exploring Leadership in Social Enterprise. Book your place here.

Better Leaders = Better Business!

Having the necessary business skills to achieve long term sustainability is critical, but how many of us possess the natural leadership to inspire our team and share a vision of success yet to happen? Commitment, confidence, clarity, communication and an honest ability to understand ourselves are critical elements in a social enterprise leader’s toolkit.

Better Leaders = Better Business! workshops are designed to develop those leadership and management skills. The workshops provide a chance to explore your leadership style, to share challenges and seek solutions to leading staff and volunteers through often choppy waters in a fast-changing environment. They provide a safe space to reflect on your own practise, and the vision and direction of your organisation. Drawing on examples from social and commercial enterprise, the workshops will help learners to build their own leadership toolkit, and thus increase the potential social impact their organisations can create.

Attendees registered through the Enhance Social Enterprise (Enhance SE) programme can also benefit from business mentoring, picking up on some of the themes addressed in this and other forthcoming workshops.
