Certified Agile Leader® 1 (CAL 1™️) - Remote training by agile42

This two-day class meets the Scrum Alliance requirements of Certified Agile Leader® 1 (CAL 1™️).

Agile Leadership is necessary for any organization that wants to learn and grow. ORGANIC agility provides a new leadership approach, models for cultural change, insight into complexity thinking, and addresses topics that are important to every leader in any organization.

The ORGANIC Leadership® framework supports Leadership growth as a capability, rather than only seeing it as the personal development of Leaders. To grow leadership capabilities we need to start building the ability, in ourselves and others, to see the connections between what we do and the effect that has on our organizational culture, our environment, and us as a leader.
