Certified Agile Leader 2 (CAL 2™)

The Certified Agile Leader 2 (CAL 2) course emphasizes developing your agile leadership skills. You will deepen your knowledge of agile leadership through hands-on activities and self-assessment assignments. You will develop a personal action plan to build on your strengths and lead with integrity.

Courage is the only leadership virtue that cannot be faked, and this course will equip you to lead authentically and improve your world of work.

Agility as a concept is the talk of enterprises’ board rooms, but the systems needed to align people, resources, and capabilities to achieve an enterprise’s strategic objectives are lacking. Making the changes necessary to become nimble in a business environment of uncertainty requires agile leadership skills. You know that strategy without execution is just a dream. Join us to discover how you can develop leadership skills to realize your ambitious personal and enterprise goals.

The art of leadership can only be learned on the foundation of authenticity. If you fake it, you will not make it. We have helped managers and agile practitioners in enterprises overcome obstacles to personal growth and develop their personalized leadership style. Excellence is an outcome that can be learned. Let us show you how.
