Manager as Team Navigator (MAT)TM
Introduction
In time of change, leaders need to lead their teams in a flexible, participative and agile way. Most leaders have no idea where to start.
The modern work place has changed significantly over the last decade. Most employees are knowledge-age workers. They are educated, specialized and smart. They want to be involved. They want to understand and to have an impact. This requires a new style of leadership. The industrial age "Top – Bottom" approach no longer suffices. This out of date leadership style creates a very low level of engagement and alignment that many organizations experience around the globe.
A whole array of new mindset, skills and tools are needed in order to lead nowadays. Moreover, most leaders have been trained to lead individuals rather than leading whole teams as a unit.
MAT™ is a unique leadership training program. It was created in response to the need for participative leadership. This style of leadership engages the whole team and creates buy- in and alignment. It provides leaders with the ability to lead teams as whole teams, going beyond leading individual team members.
