Leading People and Teams

a leadership laboratory


This program is a leadership laboratory that deals with the “why” and “how” of behavior in organizations. Unlike many other programs on similar topics, it goes beyond the obvious, conscious and rational side of human functioning, adding the opportunity to explore productive as opposed to non-productive drives that individuals subconsciously follow in organizations.

In addition, the program’s experiment-based nature will help you to investigate your own behavioral patterns in business situations; it will sharpen your awareness of more effective and less effective practices in dealing with others.

As a participant, you will receive input regarding your leadership style and behavior through 360-degree feedback offered before the program and a debriefing offered during the course. The leadership laboratory’s challenging but safe environment will furnish you with a chance to try out new skills and techniques and receive feedback and support from faculty and peers.

The program offers participants an individual follow-up coaching session to support them in implementing action plans worked out in class and during executive coaching sessions.

Principally you are an executive concerned with the effective and efficient management of people to help you achieve organizational goals.
