Igniting Innovation through Inclusive Leadership

Leaders will explore the connections between leadership, work-based learning, and motivation to create an environment that balances accountability with openness to experimentation. Through interactive exercises and case studies, participants will apply distributed leadership models, practice influencing stakeholders beyond their areas of authority, and develop strategies for sustaining engagement within their teams.
By the end of the workshop, executives will gain practical tools to enhance innovation, including techniques for fostering psychological safety, driving motivation, and influencing change. They will leave with actionable strategies to improve their organizations' culture of collective creativity and a commitment to applying these insights in their leadership practice.
