Talk for HR
Developing Leaders for Uncertain Conditions
A talk for HR and learning teams on the conditions that support responsible decisions.
Situation
What a leadership framework does not answer
A leadership framework does not, on its own, tell someone what to do in an unclear situation. For HR and learning teams, this raises a practical question: which capabilities do leaders need, and what must the organisation put in place to support them?
Andy Fitze examines leadership through situations in which information is incomplete and responsibility is tangible. He brings experience as a business and expedition leader to a discussion of how people can prepare for such conditions. The focus is the relationship between individual capability and organisational support.
Content
Questions the talk explores
- Mandate
- Do leaders know what they may decide and when they need support?
- Practice
- Where can people rehearse working with uncertainty before the stakes are high?
- Challenge
- How can information from a team still change a decision?
- Reflection
- How can an organisation learn from the way a decision developed, rather than judging only its outcome?
The talk offers questions for developing your approach to leadership. It does not provide a universal competency model or replace work on specific organisational problems.
