Training Leadership Challenge: Strategic Contribution

Leadership

Conversation

Understanding

Reflection, workshops, challenge, and co-development: during their program, participants integrate cross-functional information-seeking habits to deepen their understanding of organizational issues and fully contribute to them with their team. This enables them to create value in an ever-changing world of work.

 

Approach Intentional Conversations to Elevate Yourself

Confidence Pillar: The Foundation of Solid Leadership

To go beyond your expert reflexes and grow, you first need a good understanding of your environment and your team’s strengths. The Leadership Challenge encourages participants to step out of their day-to-day operations to discuss with other managers, so they can pinpoint a compelling business issue that will enable them to create value. Their conversations with themselves, their team, and their organization become more intentional.

 

Curiosity Pillar: Engaging New Stakeholders

The participant plans and implements a stakeholder engagement strategy, including mobilizing her team, to solve a compelling business issue that she has identified. She is thus creating value and amplifying collective intelligence, which increases team members’ understanding and highlights it in a new way within the organization.

 

Credibility: Influencing a Direction

The participant makes recommendations despite an incomplete picture, and makes the case for her and her team’s solution with conviction, to influential people in her organization. She is thus having a high-level conversation and growing her skills in an environment where contribution and perfection are not synonymous, but where voices and perspectives are truly heard.

 

METHODOLOGY An Opportunity to Take Action


While behavioural transformation is our core methodology, our tools are challenge, microlearning, alternating introspection/action, role models, and co- development squads. Since action is the only way to adopt lasting new behaviours, our workshops and web conferences create safe spaces to ask targeted questions, reflect on desired outcomes, adopt an open- minded approach, and test out new practices before integrating them.
