The Oxford Adaptive & Authentic Leadership

Introduction

This GLOMACS Adaptive & Authentic Leadership training course addresses one of today’s most pressing leadership challenges: how to lead people effectively through constant change, uncertainty, and ethical complexity without losing credibility or trust. In an environment defined by disruption, technological acceleration, and rising stakeholder expectations, leaders can no longer rely on authority or technical expertise alone.
