LEADERSHIP IN ACTION

September 16 – 18, 2020ESMT Berlin

EXPAND YOUR BOUNDARIES THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL

LEARNING FOR LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP SUCCESS

For an entrepreneur building a company – or an entre pre­neurial thinker strengthening an existing organiza tion – moving beyond the leadership comfort zone is more

than an option: It is necessary for survival. Economies and industries are being turned inside out. Traditional corporate hierarchies are no longer sustainable. As a result, standard­ized approaches to leadership no longer work. In the absence of a roadmap, today’s managers need bold leadership skills to drive real change.

Our program shows managers how to achieve both. A rigorous, three­day, total­immersion experience helps chal­lenge, stretch, and push leadership skills in unexpected ways. Using the transitional approach to change, an action­and­review framework extends thinking beyond classic pres en­tation and case­study methods. During the action program segment, participants are challenged to move, perform, com­municate, and create during an innovative set of experiential encounters. During the review segment, par ticipants are then engaged in collaborative peer feedback. The combined ele­ments work together to accelerate personal and pro fessional growth – breaking out of the leadership routine and into greater opportunity.

TOPICS INCLUDE ✓ Developing innovative leadership strategies for teams

and industries affected by rapid change ✓ Cultivating greater followership and developing one’s own

strengths by focusing on the substance and character that people naturally want to follow

✓ Collaborating within a learning, cooperative laboratory environment that generates true innovation

✓ Fostering group competition that enables achievement at both the personal and organizational levels

✓ Supporting communication strategies that reach across organizational, cultural, and gender barriers to motivate people and move companies forward

✓ Building teamwork concepts that transcend traditional hierarchies to address the diverse talent clouds that make up today’s workforce

METHODSWe have designed an experience­based program for man ­agers and independent collaborators completely outside of the classroom.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND Managers and independent collaborators interested in learn­ing about leadership and followership, facilitated through an action­based learning approach.

KEY BENEFITSParticipants will learn to build bridges between people to generate greater value. By acquiring new strategies for leading and following during the program, they will learn to better identify, and reinforce their interpersonal strengths.

PARTICIPANT GROUPS

❝Be prepared to experience a few completely different days and don’t

be afraid of trying out new things. By being given the chance to interact

with various ecosystems outside of our business, I learned that “leadership”

is truly everywhere. After the LIA course, leadership became even more

fascinating to me. Why? Because behind every face we are working with, there is a unique personality; because of the psychodynamics behind each and

every interaction; because of the impact that leaders and their style can have on people and their working environment.
