Debating and Analysing Leadership
One popular activity is to prepare a debate regarding a particular kind of leadership for the sake of illustration and understanding, normally a worldwide and infamous team (usually a nation involved in a war against others or with its own people) is strategically analysed by a team of employees who focus on the morality, ethics, policies and decision making process of the entity in question. This kind of activity ought to be organised according to the audience. Within this debate challenge, such other events could be included, including role playing, presentation and brainstorming ideas. After reading and talking a thorough analysis of the information, players would then give careful attention to the following points:
Leadership styles displayed.
Humanity vs. Results
The purposes of controversial policies.
Factors that affected huge decisions.
Factors that could have clouded rational judgment.
Profiles of leaders and high ranking officials at the time.
Parallels in today's business world.
Visualisation Techniques
Not only would talking leadership in the past be effective for new trainers, but an awareness of the future could likewise be helpful. Ask progressive employees to visualise running their own self chosen business. (Meditative events may be involved, for example closing the eyes). After the initial vision is claimed by ambitious employees challenge them with specifics where in the world is the business located and why? This is an effective challenge that helps future leaders visualise their success and excite them to follow their aspirations.
Cartoon and Celebrities in Role Playing
Role playing can be a serious activity or a bit exaggerated and even humorous for the sake of a point. Using a well known celebrity (or a cartoon character for children) is fun and can be constructive in learning. It allows the performer to prepare for his or her role and lets the observers pay closer attention. Not only are people more inclined to listen when character role playing is involved, they are also given a certain detachment from reality that allows them to focus on the technique being discussed.
How do you choose a suitable character? Of course, the purpose would be choosing a character or celebrity that is obviously unsuitable, hence the need for special handling techniques. It might be a good idea to open the floor to suggestions on which character or celebrity will be used, though if you have a specific point to make, you may have your own idea. This is a exceptionally effective challenge to utilise when doing a role play scenario on counseling, job interviewing or disciplinary action.
These events will be helpful in teaching your progressive employees about the science of team building.
