Devolving Power: Transitioning from Command to Enablement
Richard Campbell
Time
11.00 - 11.30
Details
In Agile project management the Project Manager’s role focuses on fostering an environment of self-management rather than direct task oversight. This requires a shift toward Agile Leadership, where leadership "lives everywhere" and power is devolved to those closest to the work.
Join Richard Campbell in this session and get into these discussion points: In a high-stakes corporate environment, how does a Project Manager balance the need to demonstrate control to sponsors with the need to give teams the autonomy and psychological safety to experiment and fail? What are the practical challenges of moving from a directive "command and control" style to a "servant-leader" model that aims to "make itself redundant"?
Key Features
Attendees can expect to leave the session with a deeper understanding of how to pivot from a traditional "command and control" mindset toward a facilitative servant-leadership model, with some Practical Techniques for Fostering Team Autonomy
