Transformational Leadership PLUS Open Workshop Series

 

In China’s challenging business environment, managers need time to reflect on who they are, what they are doing and where they are heading.  The difficulties of leadership are even more difficult for the expatriate manager.  Here is that opportunity to step back, reflect and recharge!

 

Over the past decade, Professional Way has developed a number of China-specific leadership workshops.  The Transformational Leadership PLUS Workshop Series is the final product of many years of testing ideas and theories and seeing how they work in the Chinese environment.  We have run pilot programs and workshops with similar content with a number of Fortune 500 companies including Roche, McDonalds, Danone, Mitsubishi, IDEX, SEB Group, Siemens and Pepsi. 

 

The Transformational Leadership PLUS workshop series helps leaders and potential leaders at a more senior level reflect on their current environment, heighten self awareness and acquire new skills.

 

Workshop Design
 

Transformational Leadership is designed as a series of two three-day workshops taking place in September and December 2009.  Key features of the workshop series include:

 

Multiple psychometric assessments including the Leadership Development Profile (LDP) made famous in the Harvard Business Review.

Small Group Leadership Opportunities to practice and develop your skills

Competency based training built around the classic “4E+1P” system

Experiential based learning using activities, role plays and case studies

A mid-term coaching session in small peer-to-peer learning groups

 

Prior to each module, participants will complete one or more psychometric or soft skills assessments.  We will debrief the results of these tests and use them to help design post-program action plans.  Between workshops we will hold a small group, one-half day coaching session.

 

Target Audience

We designed Transformational Leadership PLUS for senior and mid-level expatriates who are often overlooked in human resource development plans, focusing on localization.  A primary focus of the workshop series is to assist managers in a cross cultural environment.  Thus, senior Chinese managers less at home in the international business environment will also benefit from the workshop series.

 

Key Features

 

The program uses a series of assessments and experiential learning techniques as a methodology to enhance learning points and to lead to lasting and insightful experiences.  Debriefs are an essential feature in the program and follow each activity as a final and completing part of the learning process.

 

Participants will become stronger leaders by:

 

Heightening personal self awareness,

Enhancing interpersonal leadership skills,

Developing skills in motivating and inspiring followers,

Leading small teams more effectively,

Guiding followers with vision, and

Moving from a transactional style to a transformational leadership style
