Advanced Leadership
Advanced
Leadership is a course offered exclusively to people
who have attended LeaderScope's Leadership Experience
or Executive Experience courses.
It is designed for managers interested in dramatically improving
their leadership skills. In this advanced course, we revisit the
film "Twelve O'clock High," but this time we consider leadership
from the top -- from the perspective of General Pritchard (General
Savage's "boss").
Unlike Savage, Pritchard is too far away from the work to manage the
work context directly, so when there are breakdowns in performance,
Pritchard must get people to "re-create" the contexts where the work
occurred in order to manage or exercise leadership.
Advanced Leadership
is a one-day course in which participants are led through a
discussion of advanced leadership, accompanied by analysis of film
clips from "Twelve O'clock High" -- scenes that were not discussed
in LeaderPoint's other courses. Then participants engage in
exercises where they are challenged to apply this advanced thinking
to situations in their real-world jobs.
Participants review high-level results, assess complex situations,
identify critical factors impacting performance, and intervene to
advance performance. There is special emphasis on the "CEO
perspective" and the five areas where advanced leaders must
concentrate their attention:
● Gathering and interpreting key information
● Reviewing critical performance
● Creating focus where it matters most
● Enforcing the rules (and knowing when to make exceptions)
● Planning and preparing for growth
This is a very intensive
program designed for those who are serious about improving their
leadership skills. Advanced
Leadership is offered as an open enrollment program
attended by people from multiple companies.
