Leadership Team Development Program

Leadership teams have a specific task-to provide leadership to the organization. In this program we examine what this means using the Three Arenas of Leadership© as a framework. The Three Arenas of Leadership© are:

• Being a Leader
• The Core Task of the Leader – Enlisting others
• Leader as Facilitator of Learning

An important aspect of developing as a high performing team is to be versed in the roles and accountability of leadership.

In working with a Leadership Team, Gaian facilitators, in addition to developing a high performing leadership team, also work on the role and accountability of leadership. This is when the team and individual members get clear on who they are being as a leader, understand the distinction between enlisting others and “telling” or “selling” others, and understand how to ensure that learning is occurring in the organization.

The task of Leadership is an open ended one; especially in these times of continuing new opportunities and threats to our businesses. In Leadership work it is essential to look at what the Leadership Team does when things change suddenly. It is at times like these that the organization looks for clear direction and the role of the Leadership Team is different than when things are proceeding without a hitch.
