We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!
Agile Leadership. How do you build an organisation that can adapt – not just survive, but thrive?How do you define organisational agility, and why is it crucial for businesses in today's rapidly changing environment?
Across organisations, Expectations keep rising, while resources don’t and change just keeps on coming. This week, we’re joined by Dr Linda Holbeach – researcher, author and leading voice in organisation development. Her book The Agile Organisation explores how businesses can become more responsive, innovative and sustainable – not through surface-level changes, but by rethinking leadership, culture, strategy and people practices.
In this conversation, we talk about:
- What agility really means in today’s world – beyond the buzzwords
- Why resilience, adaptability and innovation are now critical capabilities
- The deep tensions leaders face between control and empowerment
- And what HR and OD teams can do to enable lasting, meaningful change
