Agile leadership for learning: How to lead innovative change despite resistance

simon breakspearSimon Breakspear shared his concept of agile leadership in a high energy session at the 2015 IB regional conference for Africa, Europe, Middle East. His concept is a simple framework for action that will enable any leader to drive impactful change for better learning. His framework enables leaders to learn how to:

  • Lead ‘radical incremental’ change that honours the past but designs for the future
  • Drive fewer but more impactful initiatives
  • Mobilise your innovators to prototype new learning through disciplined innovation
  • Cultivate social learning and high-trust cultures to spread innovative practices

The summary for Simon’s session promised the conference participants: “Leaders will leave this presentation equipped and inspired to navigate the creative tensions, challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
