To Lead When Everything Seems Unpredictable
In a time of crisis when everything seems unpredictable, people easily turn to those that they trust to guide them to a better and more stable future in which there is safety and a sense of control. Leaders often feel comfortable in such a dynamic and pro-actively take charge to meet followers’ needs. At the same time this can put leaders in a tricky spot, because can you indeed provide the stability and predictability that followers are seeking in the unpredictable context of a crisis? This webinar explores this dynamic and provides concrete guidelines to prevent the creation of an illusion of control.
The speaker
Mariëlle Heijltjes is full professor of Managerial Behaviour, Executive Director of UMIO – Professional Development at Maastricht University and a member of the research theme Culture, Ethics and Leadership.
Marielle’s professional interest and expertise revolve around questions that relate to the functioning of (top) managers and (top) management teams: what drives their behaviour, when is it effective, when is it responsible and sustainable and what explains the dynamics in (top) management teams?
