Full Seminar Description

Purpose and Objectives

Work of all kinds is increasingly being performed by teams. Regardless of the type of team (i.e. self-directed, executive, project or departmental), leadership and facilitation effectiveness are always key ingredients. Unfortunately, team leadership skills cannot be learned via the internet. Thus we have created a fast-paced, demanding, highly interactive three-day developmental experience designed to:

• Improve skills in leading in an empowered team-oriented workplace.
• Combine strategic, tactical and personal content into an integrated approach to leadership.
• Provide in-depth analysis/awareness of leadership style and abilities.
• Provide in-depth insight into strengths, weaknesses and preferences.
• Generate an action plan to improve leadership performance.
• Create team synergy through a powerful collective experience.

TARGET AUDIENCE

• Teams desiring to improve team effectiveness.
• Managers at upper middle, middle and first levels who lead in a team environment.
• Fast track high potential managers / leaders.
• Employees needing to improve interpersonal skills.

Program Content

Pre-Program Assessment

Prior to the program, each participant receives a packet of forms, questionnaires and instruments. Completing these instruments requires the participant to begin a process of self assessment, introspection and examination. A major piece of the instrument package is The Executive Effectiveness Profile—a set of questionnaires to be completed anonymously by the participant’s boss, team members and peers. These questionnaires cause the participant to directly consider the impact which he or she, as a leader and manager, is having on key people. The other part of the pre-program assessment is a battery of psychometric instruments which get at a broad range of motives, needs and behaviors.

Bases of Influence - Presentation/Discussion

Lateral influence skills or the ability to get others not under a leaders direct control to do what needs to be done is the focus of this module.

Interpersonal Effectiveness/Conflict Handling - Presentation/Discussion

Using information provided by the Interpersonal Preferences Profile, participants learn about their predominant interpersonal style and its impact on motivation, presentation effectiveness and conflict management.

Management Style Preference Index - Instrument Analysis

Participants receive feedback on 16 dimensions of personality which affect leadership effectiveness. Then participants learn a model to increase the use of eight constructive dimensions and minimize the use of four passive and four aggressive styles.

Team Facilitation/Group Dynamics - Exercise/Discussion (Project Phoenix)

Participants are challenged to select a general manager for an operation from eight candidates. The exercise focuses on the critical role of team facilitator and outlines productive and dysfunctional aspects of team operations.

Leadership Assumptions - Exercise & Debrief

Participants challenge their assumptions about leadership against the consensus of a wide body of research. Participants experience team facilitation issues, group dynamics, team synergy and consensus decision issues.

Executive Effectiveness Profile - Instrument Analysis

Each participant receives a detailed 360° look at his/her effectiveness in the eyes of the boss, team members and peers from back at the workplace. This process is a course highlight which forces participants to consider characteristics which currently contribute to their leadership effectiveness and suggestions for future change.

Understanding the Generations - Presentation/Discussion

The Value differences between Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y workers are discussed. Ways to attract and retain members of each generation are outlined.

Election To The Senate - Exercise & Debrief

As newly elected Senators of the United States, participants must fulfill their promises and meet the needs of their people in an exciting simulation revolving around internal customer service. The interaction of communication and trust with organization structure provides focal points for discussion. Also explored are lateral influence skills, "politics" and power, and the dynamics of collaboration vs. competition.

Challenge Driven Team Building System - Presentation/Discussion

The focus is on the stages high performing teams move through and the challenges which must be overcome as participants are given a comprehensive planning template and diagnostic model which will allow them to develop highly effective teams at any level.

Performance Driven Leadership System - Presentation/Discussion

This important section covers methods for diagnosing the development level of associates and choosing the most appropriate style of supervision. Participants also learn a structured feedback for results system as a way of using the concepts in the workplace. A counseling analysis model for dealing effectively with poor performance is also covered as is a template for associate career development.

Organization Environment - Presentation/Discussion

Using the 16 dimensions of the Organization Environment Index, participants are given a tool to diagnose the kind of work environment their people work in and methods to improve it over time.

Lost Mines - Exercise & Debrief

One of the most exciting and challenging simulations ever created, teams must wisely manage their limited resources in a pressure-packed and hostile environment. Exercise highlights the critical nature of situation diagnosis, planning, goal setting decision-making and leadership. Also explored are dealing with multiple priorities, risk assessment, risk mitigation and small team dynamics under pressure.

Project Leadership - Exercise/Discussion

Participants are tasked with planning a project and selling their ideas to their peers in an interactive simulation. Concepts of team synergy emerge when participants learn to focus on team structure and process. A template for effective project management is a valuable by product of the exercise.

ALPHA ENERGY Computerized Simulation - Exercise

For over six hours, participants engage in one of the most stimulating and challenging exercises ever developed. Participants form 3 competing companies starting with identical products and market share. They must attempt to meet the mission of becoming a certified subcontractor of ALPHA ENERGY by successfully performing as a team and scoring 100 points relating to task-based objectives. The computer-driven simulation highlights the importance of mission clarity, dealing with competing priorities, role definition, group process, working under pressure, the impact of planning on performance and risk assessment.
