What is Leadership Laboratory?
Leadership Laboratory is an experiential workshop focused on honing leadership skills. It is designed to help participants identify where they need to adapt their leadership skills for greater effectiveness. By the end of the program, participants will have learned and, more importantly, practiced leadership skills that they will be able to apply immediately.
Participants will first reflect on their own effectiveness and impact in the leadership role. They will then receive feedback and coaching from those they lead in the exercise. Finally they will receive feedback and coaching from the course instructor. The feedback they receive will always be in the context of their effectiveness and impact in regard to two key factors;
The success and productivity of their team
The engagement and satisfaction of their team members
The feedback process we use will leave participants feeling inspired and enthusiastic about implementing both newfound and evolved leadership skills. It will also provide them with feedback tools to bolster their capacity to both provide and receive feedback effectively.
What “Happens” in Leadership Laboratory:
Participants will engage in a series of experiential exercises, which are designed to allow participants to rotate through leadership roles. At the end of each exercise, those in a designated leadership role will engage in a 3-part coaching and feedback process. All participants will have the opportunity to lead an exercise and then receive feedback.
