It introduces key frameworks for transformational leadership including:
The program is based around a combination of tuition, practical exercises, dialogue and personal reflection. This approach is designed to give participants the maximum opportunity to understand the programme material through their own experience. Participants are encouraged to undertake self-examination to identify their own leadership development needs, using the program as a guide.
Transformational Leadership
What is leadership and why is it important? This session looks at the issue of leadership, the qualities of a great leader, and at what the differences are between the qualities of a great leader, and those of a great human being. We also look at what we mean by “Transformational Leadership” - the ability to bring about change which uplifts and benefits humanity, through meeting its needs, and developing its capabilities.
The Human Framework
Our feelings, thoughts and actions are constantly at play, interacting and reacting to each other. Why is understanding this important in terms of leadership? What are our own individual default mechanisms? Are they always useful? How can we become aware of them and avoid them if we need to? This session looks at 4 aspects of the human being: Awareness, Feeling, Thinking, Acting, and at how, once we are aware of what is happening in these areas, in ourselves and in others, we can make better choices about what is needed.
The Energies
How do we need to “be” in order to “do”? What impact does our energy and that of those around us have on the task at hand? How can we use our energy more effectively to shape the environment we are in, and inspire or focus others?
Taking the Lead
This session opens up the “doing” side of leadership. When you find yourself in a position of leadership, where should you start? This session introduces a simple framework on what steps we need to take in order to take the lead in any situation.
Decision Making and “The Decision Tree”
What impact do our decisions have on those around us? Who do we consider when we make decisions? What happens when we extend that consideration wider? What happens when we don’t? We are constantly making decisions. The Decision Tree provides a tool to help us consider how to make those decisions as wisely as possible.
Great Communication
Great communication is a key part of leadership, but it is not just about telling and the grand speeches. This session looks at the 4 key tools of dialogue: Listening, Respecting, Suspending, Voicing and at how to apply them to resolve conflict through thinking collectively.
Personal Mastery
We already have at our disposal all the core resources we need to achieve great things. We just need to make a conscious decision to develop and cultivate those resources. The Personal Mastery session looks at what we as individuals need to develop in ourselves in order to meet the needs we see in front of us, and at how we can put in place simple, practical steps to do so.
Community Impact & Statements of Action
Consolidating all their learning from the day, participants will now look at how they can translate this into action, either through individual actions or group projects designed to address one or more of the needs they have identified.
The program is aimed primarily at young people aged 16-30 but can be run for groups where they might range from 12-19.
