Example flow for our signature leadership programme
Week 1 Initial awareness and preparation
Participants are invited to complete some self assessments that help identify their personality, their drives, the focus of their energy; they are invited to conduct a wider enquiry with colleagues and stakeholders (a 360 process) that helps inform their strengths, their weaknesses and any blind spots. Typically, they may also have a one to one interview with a facilitator /coach.
