Executive Leadership Development
- Where did the educational journey end?
At a time when the demand for speed increases in everything we do, we have to make some significant choices in order to prioritize – because we cannot achieve everything we would like. Therefore, Executive Leadership Development may be the answer.
The way in which we develop our top managers today has also undergone significant changes and we train and develop today much more specifically on what we as managers need right here. At the same time, the focus changes from a development perspective to an education perspective, where academia and associated ECTS points weigh heavily in the selection and development of development and education activities.
What became of the educational journey?
How do we today shape the leaders who are on their way to the top and thus the position where they, as role models, show others what this company stands for - what you do and what you don't do - the ethical and moral compass?
It was not long ago that the world experienced one of the worst financial crises ever and many have said that greed and disregard for common moral and ethical norms was one of the main causes. Have we learned anything from this crisis? Have we changed our behavior or just our perception of what is right and fair? Do morals and ethics play a greater role now than in the past?
In some companies, the moral and ethical compass is an important focal point for the entire company. Everyone knows intuitively what is good and proper behavior. In others, it is opportunism and the religion of growth that drives what you can and cannot do. Here it is not the moral and ethical aspects, but only whether it is legal that determines what one does.
How do we in HR navigate this? What demands does it place on the way we train and develop our managers? Is it time to reintroduce the educational journey as an element in the development of future top managers?
Program for the meeting:
Our host for the meeting is Corporate Vice President at Novo Nordisk A/S Mette Aagaard Hertz. Mette is responsible for HR in Novo Nordisk R&D and has herself participated in the Lighthouse programme.
At the meeting will Annelise Goldstein, Corporate Vice President at Novo Nordisk A/S, who is responsible for management development at Novo Nordisk, talk about how Novo Nordisk is currently restructuring their management development process. Over the past 8 years, the Lighthouse program has set new standards for how to also develop the social and moral aspects of leadership, but just now Novo Nordisk is developing a new course. What should be different? How do we do good Executive Leadership Development?
Ask Agger, CEO of Workz, works with the development of managers in many organizations and, as a manager in Workz, who works with change in particular, has a good view of the demands that are and will be made of top managers. Ask will give his take on how we can best develop the managers who will be at the helm of Danish companies in the future.
Kenneth Mikkelsen is co-founder and partner in FutureShifts, which aims to help leaders rethink, redefine and reinvent their organizations and themselves to meet the demands of the future. Based on The Leadershift Compass, which is an exciting new approach to the development of leaders, Kenneth will therefore challenge us in the way we think about leadership development - and how we can once again bring the educational journey and concepts such as orderliness into leadership.
Come and help create an inspiring dialogue on this exciting and very relevant topic, where we focus on HR's role and responsibility for this agenda.
