Additional Details

Effective leadership develops through experiential learning opportunities coupled with timely, specific, and relevant feedback. You will find yourself as part of a team facing several leadership challenges during the second and third days. The final challenge is a large group case study, which builds on all previous lessons learned and requires you to engage in a true-to-life simulation. We are not going to give this exciting challenge away by explaining all the details, but here is a sampling of the valuable lessons you will glean from these experiences:

• Giving and receiving specific feedback on leadership styles
  
• Practice differentiating between leadership and management behaviors
  
• Solution thinking "outside of the box"
  
• Experience in setting a clear direction and vision for the group

• Learning to allocate your resources to effectively achieve your objectives
  
• How leaders can effectively set momentum, develop unity, and create motivation toward achieving goals, and
