Becoming an agile manager in a complex world

Training Theme 

This course explores the complex challenges of modern management, where managers have to juggle different roles and deal with often conflicting requirements. Through the image of the "managerial club-sandwich", the training dissects the multiple hats of the manager - from boss to facilitator - and presents the strategies to navigate with agility among these missions. It analyzes the evolution of expectations of managers since 1910 and offers concrete ways to develop a balanced approach to current managerial paradoxes, such as the need to promote autonomy while maintaining control, or to encourage innovation while ensuring stability.

Training Objectives
