Authentic Leadership Intensive

Developing Personal & Team Awareness for Transformational Change

The five key Personal Elements of Powerful Leadership are:

1. Self-Awareness
2. Authenticity
3. Actively creating (Strategy and plan)
4. Integrity
5. Connections

Following this outline for authenticity, the Authentic Leadership Intensive is a powerful interactive and experiential program designed to develop each participant’s knowlege of their own leadership and communication styles. The program builds on what participants already know about effective communication and conflict and offers powerful experiential exercises to help participants apply this knowlege to the workplace. Gaps between expectations and perceptions of performance are discovered and opportunities to close the gaps are identified.

Participants will gain:

• More efficient use of human resources
• Increased synergy and collaboration between and among individuals and team
• A better understanding of personal motivations and a deeper awareness of organization and self
• Working knowlege of how to interact with other people to foster more productive relationships
• A better understanding of personal motivations

Team leaders will learn how to give and receive feedback, discover what role they play on the team, and explore how to increase overall team effectiveness. Key components of the program are:

• Power versus Force.
  
• How to Support Transformational Change:
  
• Understanding Disruptive Cycles and Creating Proactive Cycles
  
• 360º Feedback: Giving and Receiving Feedback
• Firo-B Assessment: How to use collective knowledge of personality assessments for higher performance teams.
• The Making of a High-functioning Team
  
• Personal and Team Gap Analysis

This is intended to be a four-day program with three days of the above-mentioned activities, models, and skills work. The fourth day is an off-site team experiential that enables participants to shift perspective and integrate awareness from the other parts of the program.
