A-N Leadership Exchange

The A-N Leadership Exchange pair’s two leaders from different parts of your organization to visit, observe and learn at each other’s workplace.  We work with you to undertake this on a large-scale to gain exceptional personal and organizational results.  This is networked leadership in action, and very useful for culture change, mergers and for organizations in transition.

 

What happens on the Leadership Exchange?

1. Leaders are carefully selected and matched with other leaders, to ensure best-fit learning for the individual and the organization.
2. Leaders are trained in groups; how to observe, to reflect and they learn coaching skills to give their exchange partner feedback on their leadership style.
3. A mutual exchange then takes place, where both parties visit each other, with a structured format to follow.
4. Individual learning takes place: observing best practice, reflecting on different leadership styles and learning about different regions and departments.
5. Debrief coaching: individuals are coached by our expert coaches to extract and embed the learning

 

Outputs

• Powerful impact on personal leadership development
• New connections across company silo’s are made, new networks that align company culture and practices, and spread best practices.
• Organizational learning is harvested from multiple exchanges, taken from the coaching debriefs.
• Senior leadership reflects on this organizational learning; we coach you to implement strategies, building on the strengths, overcoming challenges, and delivering on new ideas

 

This exchange is adapted from our successful Lead2Lead programme www.lead2lead.com drawing on our experience of running the leadership exchange programme on Henry Mintberg’s  International Masters for Practicing Managers,  IMPM.

The Leadership Game

This action-learning event is for 40-100 people and creates an unforgettable learning experience that delivers superb results.

 

Uniquely it delivers in three key areas:

1. Personal leadership learning
2. Team dynamic and different models of team leadership
3. Organizational dynamics and culture:  how teams, functions and regions work collaboratively together across organizational boundaries.

 

Building on 50 years of the Tavistock Group Relations tradition of experiential learning, this event brings this learning methodology into the era of networked organizations. Participants experience the limitations of controlling leadership and begin to learn from experience, what distributed leadership means in practice.
