LEADERSHIP LAB

Welcome to our Leadership Journey

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”
-John F. Kennedy

Leaders are born, not made from the get go. Leadership is a journey that takes time and experience. They’re not always perfect or know everything what they need to know to lead others in the right direction. Leaders define themselves and their leadership journey by how they respond and react to circumstances, teams, and people.

One of the key components of leadership development is understanding what type of leader an individual wants to be. Leaders can learn new skills, adopt new behaviors when needed as well as develop a genuine desire for self-improvement.

Leadership development program is a journey where you learn about yourself and the skills that you need to have in order to be successful.

In this program, participants are introduced to leadership values and approaches and how they can use them in their everyday life. They also learn how they can apply these leadership values and approaches in order for them to be better leaders.

Leadership Development Journey

At our first step to the journey we suggest to run a 360 assessment on identified competency as suggested by client or do a psychometric assessment to understand the current level of participant who will attend the program. The assessment at this stage also acts as a pre-journey indicator , which can be repeated at end of journey to see the transfer of learning that has happened.

  • 360 Assessment or
  • Psychometric Instrument or
  • Any other similar suggest tool.

This is at the pre-launch a very important  stage before we jump into the journey, we here invite the key stakeholders i.e Participant, Line Managers , HOD , HR and any other person part of this program. The idea for pre-launch is to sensitise the line managers and all key stakeholders to the importance of journey and their role to support the participant in the journey and their projects. Apart from this we also discuss the projects with the participants along with their line managers so by end of journey it benefits all. Other areas of the pre-launch are :-

  • Program overview
  • Distribution of program kit
  • Participant to prepare their SWOT & KRA sheets.
  • Project overview
  • Leadership books for reading
  • Preparing of groups for project & book reading.

The workshop here are delivered by our expert senior faculties from industry and with experience ranging from 20+ to 35+ years. Each competency is delivered in a day or 2 day workshop, followed by participant preparing IDP (Individual Development Program) at end of each journey.

Delivery of workshop can be a mix of 

  • Classroom
  • Virtual
  • Hybrid model

Transfer of learning post workshop : Case  Studies , Peer Group Learning (Whats APP) , Videos bytes , book reading , projects etc.

Post workshop on each competency review sessions are planned with the participants with a gap of 30 days, where each group needs to come up and share their progress on :

  • IDP
  • Progress on Project undertaken
  • Progress on Books

Any other challenges with respect the journey if any is also discussed here.

End of Leadership Development Journey is facilitated by inviting all stake holders , participant and leadership team. Participant are here invited in group to make the Project presentations & Book take away. They also share the project adaption in day to day process or on floor and overall improvements by implementation of the projects to the process and how it has benefited the organisation resulting to monetary saving and thus show casing the ROI on the overall journey to management and all stake holders. Closure of journey is thus facilitated by :

  • Post Assessment
  • Project Presentation
  • Book Reviews
  • Certification

During the entire Leadership Development Journey or as decided in beginning Coaching for participants if needed can be organised. We can have 

  • Personal Coaching
  • Group Coaching
  • Team Coaching 

The above completely optional and be incorporated in between depending on progress of participants and feedback.
