Adaptive Leadership Perspectives “Training”

Flexible, modular sessions aligned the Adaptive Leadership Perspectives level-specific competencies deliver core training for both critical interpersonal and operational skills for key leadership levels/roles.

The Adaptive Leadership Perspectives (ALP) Framework and associated competencies drive two types of “off-the-shelf” leadership offerings – one- and two-day versions of courses. The one-day versions focus on providing an overview of key concepts and best practices and an opportunity for analysis and planning for skill building; the two-day versions of courses provide additional skills application exercises – often in teams; the longer, configurable courses focus on more detailed presentation of best practices and extensive skill practice exercises. The two-day versions of course can be delivered on consecutive days or on separate days with an interim period to practice skills. All courses include the following materials:

• A pre-session assignment that require reading about key concepts and best practices and structured questions or exercises that prepare participants for in-class discussion;
• A participant’s guide that includes all materials presented in class and provides templates for taking notes and recording exercise outputs (note that a comparable trainer’s guide with trainer notes is offered as part of a train-the-trainer approach for transfer of training capabilities); and
• A toolkit that captures relevant concepts and best practices and provides tools and templates for continuing practice and reference to reinforce key concepts and skills.
