S2E21 Is leadership training keeping up with the times?

"Lasting change and genuine leadership growth isn't just about improving what's on the surface. It's about aligning every rung on that ladder - your environment, behavior, capabilities, beliefs and values, identity, and even purpose."

In this weeks episode you will learn:

1. The Limitations of Traditional Leadership Training While traditional leadership training courses offer valuable insights and frameworks, their effectiveness is often hindered by several factors. These include a lack of consistent and sustained application, often resulting from intensive one-off sessions that don't allow for sufficient practice or feedback. Furthermore, these trainings tend to be more theoretical than applied, leaving a gap when it comes to real-world application.

2. The Missing Piece: Neurological Levels Model Leadership trainings often focus on enhancing skills and behaviors but overlook the profound influence of personal beliefs, values, and identity. According to Robert Dilts' Neurological Levels model, lasting change requires an alignment of these deeper layers with newly learned behaviors and capabilities. If there's a mismatch, the desired change might not stick.

3. Innovative Approaches to Leadership Development There are various strategies that can address the shortcomings of traditional leadership training, such as forming accountability groups for continuous learning, initiating coaching circles for practical application, and the concept of 'working out loud' or 'leading out loud'. This method encourages leaders to make their leadership process visible and transparent, allowing for real-time feedback and providing a practical leadership model for others.

4.
