Collaborative Leadership Workshop with Ms. Sally Fegan Wyles, Former Assistant Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNITAR
人类
背景信息
There are clear benefits from working with others to achieve results we cannot achieve alone. But working outside of our own work unit is difficult, whether we are talking of working with different units within our own organisation, or with different organisations. The problem of ‘silos’ in organisations is thus very common.
Achieving the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will clearly require multi-partner collaboration, as the actions necessary are beyond the control of any one group of actors, whether governments, private sector, or civil society.
Do you want to improve your skills as a leader, and learn more about the benefits and challenges of collaborative leadership? Then join us in this exclusive opportunity to engage with a renowned trainer and international civil servant, Ms. Sally Fegan Wyles, Former Assistant Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNITAR.
活动目标
This workshop aims at helping leaders and decision-makers to recognise when collaboration is effective, understand some of the most common barriers to effective collaboration and be able to put in place practical measures to overcome them.
It will consider what contributes to make collaboration effective, and suggest how organisations and individual managers can be effective collaborators.
