Leading through crisis is hard. In this Masterclass, we will share tangible tools that make it a little easier. In this hands-on day, we'll work through the following questions:

  • How can I widen the gap between stimulus and response under intense pressure—and reclaim my capacity to act?
  • As a leader, where can I intervene where it actually makes a difference?
  • How do I find clarity in dilemma situations?
  • How do I take care of myself—even in the middle of all this?

We'll work with tools from the TheDive Leadership Toolkit: decision premises from systems theory, the 4 Quadrants from Integral Theory, and the Conflicting Goals Navigator.
