The Leadership Challenge

The Leadership Challenge Workshop

The Leadership Challenge® Workshop is a unique, intensive, and highly interactive program that consistently receives rave reviews from attendees. It has served as a catalyst for profound leadership transformations in organizations of all sizes and in all industries. Participants experience and apply The Five Practices leadership model through video cases, workbook exercises, group problem-solving tasks, lectures, and outdoor action learning. Quite often we hear workshop attendees describe how The Leadership Challenge is more than a training event. In many cases they talk about how it changed their lives. It's a bold statement, we know, but we've watched it happen time after time, leader after leader.

Workshop Design Principles

"Leadership development is self-development" is the first of several principles that shape the design and delivery of The Leadership Challenge® Workshop. In the design of leadership development programs, we believe that principles come before prescriptions. So before we talk about some of the practical details of the workshop, let's take a look at a few other basic concepts that inform the architecture of the program. Regardless of content, learning activity, or setting, here are a few important principles that help to shape all our designs:

Leadership is Everyone's Business
Throughout our book, The Leadership Challenge (3rd ed.), we tell stories of ordinary people who've gotten extraordinary things done. We talk about men and women, young and old, from a variety of organizations, public and private, government and third sector, high-tech and low-tech, small and large, schools and professional services. Chances are you haven't heard of most of them. They're not famous people or mega-stars. They're people who might live next door or work in the next cubicle. They're people just like you. We focus on leaders like this because we firmly believe that leadership is about relationships, credibility, and what people do.

Leadership is a Relationship
Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who chose to follow. Sometimes the relationship is one-to-many. Sometimes it's one-to-one. But regardless of whether the number is one or one thousand, leadership is a relationship.

Leadership is Learned
It's nonsense to assume that leadership is genetic. There's no hard evidence to support that assumption, and worse, it dooms every one of us to accept our limitations as our destiny.

The truth is that leadership is an observable set of skills and abilities that is useful whether one is in the executive suite or on the front line, on Wall Street or Main Street. And any skill can be strengthened, honed, and enhanced if we have the motivation and desire, the practice and feedback, the role models and coaching, and the support and recognition.

Leaders Make a Difference
In our classes and workshops we ask people to share a story about a Personal-Best Leadership Experience—a time when they set their own individual standard of excellence. From this exercise we hope they'll discover for themselves the practices of exemplary leadership. We have another objective as well—we want them to discover the power that lies within each one of us to make a difference.

Benefits and Outcomes

If people are to become leaders, they must believe that they can be a positive force in the world. But some management scholars claim that leaders have little impact on organizations, that other forces—internal or external to the organization—are the determinants of success. Our evidence strongly demonstrates quite the contrary. Managers, individual contributors, volunteers, pastors, government administrators, teachers, school principals, students, and other leaders who use The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® more frequently are seen by others as better leaders. For example:

They're more effective in meeting job-related demands.
They're more successful in representing their units to upper management.
They create higher-performing teams.
They foster renewed loyalty and commitment.
They increase motivational levels and willingness to work hard.
They promote higher levels of involvement in schools.
They enlarge the size of their congregations.
They raise more money and expand gift-giving levels.
They extend the range of their agency's services.
They reduce absenteeism, turnover, and dropout rates.
They possess high degrees of personal credibility.

Team Emotional and Social Intelligence

Research has shown leaders with strong emotional intelligence skills have better success in getting their employees to perform at high levels. Does your management group exhibit the necessary emotional intelligence and people skills to maximize performance? Here is an excellent program titled "Team Emotional and Social Intelligence" by Marcia Hughes and James Terrel that will help your management group develop the commitment, loyalty and spirit necessary to drive high performance.

Team Emotional and Social Intelligence (TESI® Short) Facilitator's Guide Set

The Facilitator Guide is written for the internal training professional, and external consultant and coach who works with teams. The guide provides everything required to run a training session on team performance and behaviors. Both versions of the workshop begin with a discussion on the team's Emotional Intelligence rating (as determined by the Emotionally Intelligent Team Inventory) and includes additional activities that explore strategies for improvement. Master the seven key principles (team identity, positive mood, conflict resolution, stress tolerance, communication, emotional awareness and motivation) of emotional and social intelligence within your company.

Team Emotional and Social Intelligence (TESI® Short)

This ten-minute assessment is the starting point for understanding a team's Emotional Intelligence. Each individual in the team completes and scores the assessment, and the results are then aggregated to arrive at a team rating. The assessment measures seven dimensions of team behavior and performance: tolerance, self awareness, empathy, strategic communication, conflict resolution/anger management, trust, and optimism and fun.
