The Leadership Challenge Continues®

The Leadership Challenge Continues® Workshop is an innovative and flexible program that encourages leaders to remain focused on what they learned during their exposure to The Five Practices Model. Participants will be asked to reflect upon the small wins they experienced since their leadership journey began, practice specific skills and behaviors that will prepare them for the next steps in their journey, and move beyond self-development by identifying ways for using the Five Practices to develop their team members and achieve broader spheres of influence within their organizations. Emotional Intelligence (EI), team building, and creativity will be discussed as being critical elements for living the Five Practices. Are you up to the challenge?

The Leadership Challenge Continues® Workshop will engage you and your leaders through experiential activities, workbook exercises, group problem-solving tasks, video cases, and lectures. Also, you’ll get plenty of hands-on practice applying The Five Practices leadership model to current organizational and personal leadership challenges. With a plan of action in-hand for taking the key learnings from the workshop back to the workplace, leaders will be prepared to implement these new leadership practices back on the job, beginning day 1.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Identify leadership strengths and weaknesses based on the LPI assessment (individual and 360 degrees)
• Implement The Five Practices® model to express their image of the future, inspire others to share that common vision, challenge the status quo by experimenting with innovative ideas and enable others to act by building collaboration, teamwork, and trust
• Recognize the different creativity personas, and how to deal with each persona to maximize individual output
• Apply the seven critical EI behaviors needed for building high performance teams and increase productivity
