I was with a group of juniors in high school this morning. They are taking part in a leadership development “camp” for five days. I helped with a short team building section - really easy, just your standard low ropes initiatives. Later today, they are taking part in the Enneagram . Interestingly, a few of the participants had completed some of the initiatives we had planned for them. This experience got me thinking. If these students are already REPEATING these initiatives as sophomores and juniors in high school, by the time they get through Freshman New Student Weekend or the collegiate New Leaders Program, they will be thoroughly tired of the same old approach to leadership development. Take it to the next level, and in just a few short years, a number of corporate trainers/consultants will be in big trouble if they rely on the same old bag of tricks. So what’s next? What is Leadership Development Version 2.0? I have some thoughts (and will share them ...

Wow. None of us can believe that our first session with SCC is half over. Luckily we, the Leadership Development Crew, have two more sessions to look forward to. This last hitch, we traveled to White Canyon to work on the unfinished Arizona Trail. Transplanting cactus and demolishing anything else that blocked the three feet to either side of where the trail would be. We successfully created two and a half miles of future trail corridor. It was quite the satisfying feeling to finall...

What Should an Organizational Leadership Training Seminar Entail?From: revistaecotopia.com

Just like a great recipe, a seminar must have certain ingredients to become a success. One of the most overlooked aspects of an organizational leadership training seminar, or other type of seminar, is that the skills and ideas that are imparted into attendees must be applicable to their everyday lives. In other words, if you plan an organizational leadership training seminar , do it with an emphasis on translatable skills and ideas. Also, make sure to switch it up by not simply having speak...

The majority of leadership development interventions are short-term in nature. In essence, they are “camps.” Two days here, six days there - very few have a long term perspective on development. Turning to a sports analogy, even if you were with the greatest coach in the world, how much could your basketball skills improve in a 3 day event? Perhaps some, but most would agree that long-term practice and training would most likely yield better results. As a result, we need to view ...

Another element that needs to be taken into consideration is a better understanding of how students/adults change behavior. Psychologists have been working on this for hundreds of years - why is leadership development any different? After all, we are asking human being’s to change behavior. Better understanding of these psychological approaches among practitioners hoping to “develop” leadership may be needed. For instance, from a student development perspective, we could loo...

Leadership Development - Version 2.0 (2)From: centerforleaderdevelopment.com

One way to re-frame leadership development is by moving from a strictly cerebral event to an activity with a practice field. One does not become an excellent baseball player strictly through participation in classroom activities. Of course it can be a part of the process, but all too often in leadership development, it ends up being the majority of the development experience. The event I spoke of yesterday (a team building event) can serve as a practice field, if it is linked to a set...
