I am standing here in the cold of Amsterdam.
Welcome to week 4 of the MOOC Leadership for Engineers!
In the first two weeks of this MOOC we looked at leadership in a complex,
networked, and interdependent world with unstructured
and wicked problems.
We showed that leaders, in order to deal with this reality,
need to move from a mindset of project management towards a mindset of process management.
At the end of week 3, you started looking at yourselves.
You identified your strengths, passions and formulated your personal charter.
This second part of the MOOC was really about YOU.
In this third part of the MOOC we will bring the CONTEXT and YOU together.
In this week we will present a number of leadership models.
We’ll show what works and what does not work in these models.
We will also present a leadership model that we believe is right for this day and age.
We’ll offer you concrete suggestions on how to develop this leadership style.
My colleague Dena and I very much look forward to working with your this week and see you
on Facebook!
