High Impact Leadership Prof. Guido Gianasso 1. COURSE OVERVIEW The global economy presents many opportuni4es and challenges for organiza4ons and their leaders. In this increasingly VUCA (vola4le, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world, business leaders need to develop a shared strategic vision and collaborate across func4ons, overcoming Silo mentality. In order to do so, they need to develop a repertoire of new leadership capabili4es including emo4onal and cultural intelligence, strategic communica4on and co nflict resolu4on. Our journey is structured around three main pillars: First, in order to survive and thrive in this ever - changing environment, managers need to know themselves, their strengths and weaknesses as leaders. They also need to understand how the very defini4on of leadership has changed and the connec4on between their own personality and leadership style. Second, leaders need to be able to build, align and mo4vate their teams. This module will allow par4cipants to revisit three key leadership challenges – mo4va4on with empathy, trust and collabora4ve nego4a4on. Third, leaders need to prac4ce in a real - life seNng what they have learnt in class. Our program will end with half - day of Situa4onal Intelligence workshops, where par4cipants will be encouraged to share and analyze some of their challenges at work. 2. TOPICS COVERED DAY 1 - Leading in a VUCA environment - The skills of the future - Know yourself: understanding your leadership style - Know yourself: understanding your personality DAY 2 - Leading across cultures - Na4onal, corporate and genera4onal culture - Culture and management prac4ces - Understanding trust and mo4va4on 3 . LEARNING OUTCOMES AVer comple4on of this course, par4cipants are expected: 1) To consolidate their understanding of their own personality and leadership style. 2) To fully understand the power of collabora4ve leadership and strengthen their ability to lead collabora4vely and reduce silo mentality 3) To enhance their understanding of mo4va4on and trust in today’s rapidly changing environment. 4) To enhance their repertoire of strategic leadership capabili4es, e.g., emo4onal and cultural intelligence, team development, communica4on, conflict management, and nego4a4on skills. 4. MODULES’ STRUCTURE Each module will use a variety of different approaches: • Plenary session lectures, presen4ng and discussing the main conceptual and prac4cal approaches to developing and growing leadership competencies • Prac4cal exercises and group work will invite par4cipants to appropriate and discuss cri4cal competencies and personal experiences • Individual work on the par4cipant’s organiza4onal and personal challenges will then be translated into goal seNng and the personal steps in leadership to be taken moving forward. 5. TEACHING METHODS We believe that the classroom is a safe environment (a learning community) for experimen4ng with behavior that may not be comfortable or natural for the par4cipants to exhibit on the job as managers. Our classroom then, is a place to learn, exchange idea s, and gain understanding of the behavioral basis of leadership so that change may be las4ng. We will use small group exercises, simula4ons and readings to illustrate the main point(s) of the material we are covering. Par4cipa4on in these ac4vi4es — ques4ons, observa4ons, points of view, asking for behavioral feedback — is important for success in the course and to enhance each par4cipant’s experience. 6. PREPARATION AND SELF - ASSESSMENT 1. Prior to the start of the course, each par4cipant must complete three psychometric assessments: NEO PI - RTM is the standard ques4onnaire measure of the Five Factor Personality Model (FFM) used by many leading business schools. It provides a systema4c assessment of emo4onal, interpersonal, experien4al, aNtudinal, and mo4va4onal styles -- a detailed personality descrip4on that can be a valuable resource for a variety of professionals. The NEO PI - R offers a concise measure of the five major domains o f personality, as well as the six traits or facets that define each domain. Taken together, the five domain scales and 30 facet scales of the NEO PI - R provide a clear, comprehensive, and detailed assessment of your personality. CULTURECOMPASS is an analy4cal tool providing key insights into the consequences of culture. It provides tailored feedback about your professionally capacity and your personal preferences based on Hofstede 6 - dimensional model. It provides personalised cultural guidance to discover the reasons behind the behaviour you are likely to exhibit and encounter, understand the impact of your own cultural value preferences and an4cipate poten4al behavioural piealls while working with othe rs. GOLEMAN AND BOYATZIS LEADERSHIP STYLE QUIZ - Good leaders are not born, they are made every day prac4cing empathy and learning how to inspire people to fulfil their poten4al. To this end, Daniel Goleman created a leadership style quiz that can help people understand their own style and make improve ments. 7 .
