2020 has shown our ability to respond to disruptive challenges quickly and effectively. But the long-term impact of the pandemic on our organizations, our clients and society is still emerging. Leaders need to develop transformational literacy to bridge this current reality with a future that the bank and its leaders are envisioning. That includes the ability to effectively create solutions and the aspired results. This capacity is even more crucial for GABV members who are committed to serving many marginalized clients and initiatives. This program, Leading in Times of Disruption, has been created to help leaders in values-based banks to step into their potential and to learn how to lead in moments of disruption and high complexity.
What this program will provide
Objectives of the Program
Leading in Times of Disruption is an online program with five sessions that combine individual and peer coaching sessions for the participating leaders. The program will run from March to June 2021. Key objectives of the program are:
- Learn and practice tools and methods on how to lead in times of disruption: based on the Theory U concept developed at the MIT Sloan School of Business, participants deepen their leadership skills on “Leading from an Emerging Future.”
- Create a safe and credible space in which GABV member institutions can, together, deepen their understanding of the systemic forces that underpin the coronavirus disruption.
- Prototype solutions that can enable their institution to survive the impact of the pandemic and position themselves to thrive post- crisis.
- Enable participants to acquire and strengthen the leadership capabilities and practices needed to successfully ride the impact of the coronavirus-instigated storm and disruption.
The Approach
We seek to address the ‘blind spot’ of leadership in crisis moments:
- by shifting the inner place from which leaders operate when confronted with huge disruption and innovating from an emerging future.
- by experimenting with practices, processes, and ways of being in order to respond to challenges faced.
Format: Five Online Sessions & Coaching Sessions
The program combines five online modules with cross organizational group coaching and individual coaching with the facilitators in between the modules.
Please note sessions one, three and five will be intense and run over 1.5 days, while sessions two and four will run over 0.5 day. There will be an additional 2-hour session in between modules 3 and 4.
Each of the five sessions has three parts:
- Frameworks and concepts
- Practices and tools
- Engagement and dialogue
The program will feature guest speakers from different GABV member banks as well as international thought leaders.
