Socrates: Team Agency in Practice
Creating a courageous, gracious, high-performing team.
To say we are in a new era seems an understatement, but what isn’t an understatement is that this new era will define the future of humanity as very few before. The challenge to leadership is greater than any other in recent times but leadership is being ill served by the way we have framed ‘Leadership’ to date and the way we have sought to develop it.
We at Project Ginger are seeking to turn on its head how we think of leadership and how to serve leaders in a different way.
The need to redefine the role of a CEO and leader has never been more urgent.
Project Ginger's approach can be found in our flagship programme for Chief Executives and their Executive Committees — The Socrates Programme.
CEO burnout is significant, with average tenure now below three years. It is unrealistic to believe that any CEO can always "win". Resetting expectations and reframing the CEO’s role and that of their Exco is imperative.
However, CEOs and leaders can't run a company on their own. They need everyone to step up.
The questions are: how do you create a Committed Community of adults? How can you as a leader power agency throughout your organisation?
