Develop authentic leadership skills to inspire positive culture change

When Daniel Vasella was CEO of Novartis, he understood that to be an effective leader, he had to be himself.

Many years ago, when Daniel Vasella was a boy, he was diagnosed with asthma. Afraid, vulnerable, and far from home, he had to rely on doctors to look after him. Luckily, Daniel was treated by a compassionate doctor who made the time to reassure him and explain the treatment to him.
A few years later, tragedy struck. Daniel's sister lost her battle with cancer, and not long after, Daniel's father died from surgery complications. While Daniel could easily have sunk into despair, something inside him drove him to keep going.

Years later, Daniel trained to be a physician, later becoming the CEO of Novartis, a major pharmaceutical company.
As a leader, Daniel didn't hide the challenges he faced as a child. In fact, he used them to fuel his positive contribution to the world. Daniel stayed true to himself, and as a result, his team helped save many lives with medicines like Gleevec—a breakthrough cancer drug.

In this sprint, you'll learn how to embrace authenticity as a leader, just like Daniel Vasella.

What you will get from the course?

Embracing authenticity benefits individuals, teams, and organizations alike. 

Level up workplace collaboration and innovation 

Teams led by an authentic leader feel safe at work. Knowing exactly who they are working with (or for) makes people more likely to contribute ideas and communicate openly—key drivers for collaboration and innovation.

Embrace transparency and model accountability for your team 

While it can be uncomfortable to be open about mistakes, doing so helps you stay accountable to your authentic self. This transparency also makes you more relatable as a leader, allowing you to form more meaningful connections with your team.

Achieve greater balance between your different "identities" 

It can be said that we all have three identities—work, self, and relationships—and it's easy to prioritize one identity at the expense of the others. Learning to balance these identities helps you identify what's important to you and allocate your time more effectively.

What is a sprint? Is it the same as a course?

A sprint (or “learning sprint”) is what we call our individual culture skills training units or a short course.

Each sprint contains gamified self-paced learning materials, an interactive live group practice session, and six weeks of five-minute follow-up “mini-missions” to help ensure lasting behavioral change. 

CultureUp now offers 7 sprints with more to come. A sprint can be completed as a standalone course or as part of a curriculum or bundle. See the sprint catalog for more details.

Aside from the mini missions, that’s entirely up to you. The self-paced portion of the sprint can be completed in one session that should take 60-90 minutes. Or, you can complete the modules one at a time as your schedule allows. 

Once you’ve completed the self-paced learning portion, or you can schedule your expert-facilitated live practice session, which has a 120-minute duration.  (Pilot is 60 minutes)
