The art of leading when you're trapped in a dilemma you can't get out of
All managers are familiar with the situation of being trapped in one or more dilemmas from which you cannot escape. Dilemmas that could manifest as conflicting needs or goals. Here, good balanced 'dilemma management' is required. Exercising this is challenging but also exciting for the manager; it is personally taxing but also rewarding; it strengthens self-confidence, pride and passion, but also leaves behind a gnawing worm due to the many opt-outs, uncertainty and doubt that build a nest in the leader's mind.
Dilemma management requires choosing one's achievements, victories, disadvantages, side effects and defeats with care. Leaders must live withdilemmas they live afthose they may live forthem, and they must stay alivein spite of them.
Join CBS when we meet for a series of presentations and exciting dialogues about Dilemma management.
Henrik Holt Larsen, professor emeritus, CBS, and Lilian Mogensen, former group director, ATP, has just published a book: "Dilemma management in practice - 31 tools for the value-creating manager". At the meeting, they present together with the assistant professor Rikke Kristine Nielsen, Aalborg University, and assistant professor Mette Mogensen, CBS, highlights from the book and involves the participants in a discussion of their own experience with management in dilemmas.
The themes for the day include:
- What does the literature tell us about management dilemmas?
- Business cases and management tools to deal with dilemma management
- How can HR use the (middle) managers as ambassadors for and strategic practitioners of dilemma management?
- The participants' personal experiences with dilemma management
- Collection: benefits and challenges in dilemma management
