English version of the course 200.046

Target group

All employees at universities in NRW.

Description

More and more projects are being executed outside of traditional corporate hierarchies, by interdepartmental or even intercompany teams assembled based on competencies. In teams like these, there is often no disciplinary leader. Instead, the team has a lateral leader. That leader is then responsible for the project results but without being a superior in charge of the team. In this course, we will explain what exactly the special characteristics of lateral leadership are. We will use a practical example to show you how lateral leadership operates and what leadership tools are of special importance.

What you’ll learn

• Knowing the importance and relevance of lateral leadership
• Knowing the difference between lateral and disciplinary leadership
• Understanding how lateral leadership works even without disciplinary authority
• Discovering the tools of lateral leadership and the benefits they bring
• Dealing constructively with possible conflicts
