Using a variety of feedback tools, including a pre-workshop assessment instrument,
participants will experience a rare opportunity to understand their impact and build awareness of their competencies. Practical opportunities will be provided to explore how to increase influence and accomplish objectives. Through small group leadership
exercises and case work, participants will practice how to support effective group behavior, effectively manage differences, and work with the dynamics of change and resistance.

The program will present research and theory of this leadership model, but will emphasize practice, reflection, and feedback. Through a combination of presentations, individual and small group exercises, and discussion, participants will gain a new
understanding of what characterizes effective leadership—both for themselves and for others. Pre-workshop personal assessment instrument will be included.

“There are two particular areas where this training has helped me — confidence and personnel management. The training gave me a better sense of my strengths, and with the coaching provided, I’ve learned how to use those strengths to gain confidence dealing with other executives on complex or difficult problems. In my last review, my boss, the company president, noted that I was clearly more comfortable and contributory in such situations. Regarding personnel management, the simple identification of idea makers, planners, doers, etc., provided a tool that allows for better group development and interaction. A better appreciation for the total effort required to create and implement a new idea has created more of a dynamic patience, which has been helpful to me.”
