To give an understanding of what the attendees of the Leadership Institute are learning, we thought we’d provide the basic framework from which the curriculum is based.
Based on The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner, attendees are learning about five practices of effective leadership:
Three brothers achieved their goal to get to the top by utilizing the five practices!
Challenging the Process – Searching for opportunities and experimenting while taking risk…
Inspiring a Shared Vision – Envisioning the future and enlisting others…
Enabling Others to Act – fostering collaboration and strengthening others…
Modeling the Way – Setting the example and planning small wins…
Encouraging the Heart – Recognizing individual contribution and celebrating accomplishments
In addition, attendees are learning about how to create effective change, which as we all know is an important part of being a leader. On Day 3, the curriculum discussed the Change Curve which talked about Denial, Resistance, Exploration and Commitment. Our Keynote Bob Bloom discussed many ways in which he has mastered the change curve in his career as well.
The curriculum has been well received, and it’s been a great three days thus far. Today closes us out, and we’ll post again mid-day with some photos and hopefully a video of our second keynote speaker talking about his leadership philosophy.
Thanks for reading!
