90 minutes · Live online · Future Skills 101
Lead without authority. Create trust. Unlock creativity.
Ninety minutes won’t make you someone’s boss. It will show you how to lead through trust, curiosity and brave spaces: with real influence, whether or not you have the title.
Your coach: Arne van Oosterom.
Before you book
Two minutes with Arne on what the session actually covers and who it’s for.
The problem
Teams are more diverse, flatter and faster-moving than the org chart admits. The old idea of leadership (a title, a box on a chart, an answer for everything) doesn’t hold up in a room like that.
Most of the influence you need has nothing to do with your job title.
People only contribute, experiment and speak up when the room makes it safe to.
Command-and-control reflexes quietly shut down the creativity a flat team needs.
Creative leadership isn’t a title you’re given. It’s a set of behaviours you practice.
The core idea
Creative leadership isn’t a title. It’s a set of behaviours you practice.
Curiosity, reframing, enabling others, experimentation, flexibility: the core behaviours of people who lead through trust rather than authority.
How it works
The 90 minutes are the middle. What happens either side is what makes them stick.
There’s no pre-reading. Just come with a real team, project or situation: you’ll apply everything straight to it, not to a hypothetical case.
A couple of minutes’ thought, before you log onFast, interactive and hands-on: reflection, pair work, guided discussion and an open Q&A for your specific leadership challenges.
