Project Description
Developmental Leadership (UL)
This course has been created by the Swedish Defense University and is based on their established and well-researched leadership model.
It is aimed at you who are a manager, leader, or have another role and want to create a work environment that brings out the best in both yourself and your colleagues.
COURSE OVERVIEW
The purpose of the training is to improve your own leadership by learning about The Leadership Model from the Swedish Defense University and to increase your ability to lead and collaborate with others.
You will have the opportunity to learn more about yourself and your leadership, reflect and get useful tools to help you, your colleagues, and your organization to develop.
One of the two trainers in this course is Carl Starendal, who is certified by the Swedish Defense University and also an Agile expert & SAFe Fellow. This means that in this course you can get extra support and advice on how to link Developmental Leadership to leading Agile teams, tribes/trains, and organizations.

DEVELOPMENTAL LEADERSHIP & THE LEADERSHIP MODEL
The course Developmental Leadership (UL) is based on the Swedish Defense University’s research-based Leadership Model, which in turn is based on the worldwide and established research on “Transformational Leadership.”
UL has shown a positive impact on an organization’s results and creates strong conditions for employees to take responsibility and create their own, internal motivation linked to work. It is also considered the leadership model that best fits the next generation of employees.
Developmental Leadership is characterized by the leader acting as a role model and addressing moral and ethical issues, and acting based on a visible and understandable value base.
