It’s a cohort-based leadership development program where participants meet every second week for three months. Every session revolves around a theme; after a quick introduction, it’s all about practice.
When I was studying Aikido, preparing for my black belt exam, my sensei used to say: “Don’t talk about your problem: solve it. Practice, practice, practice.”
Fast forward 15 years, I attended many leadership development sessions in my career. Most of them were PowerPoint presentations, sometimes followed by Q&As. I read persuasion, delegation, motivation, trust, and negotiation books. I watched hundreds of hours of videos on the matter.
However, the two most impactful things that made me progress as a professional, manager, and leader were executive coaching and group exercise.
The Leadership Dojo is all about the latter: exercise, exercise, and more exercise.
I came up with this idea a few weeks ago, and I'm ready to start with the first cohorts.
@luca_sartoni - Congratulations on the launch of The Leadership Dojo! It sounds like a unique and practical approach to leadership development. I love the emphasis on practice and exercise rather than just theory and lectures. Can you tell me more about the themes and topics that will be covered in the program? And how do you plan to ensure that participants get the most out of each session and are able to apply what they learn in their daily work?
@salil_sethi thank for your excellent questions!
Themes we cover include:
- self assessment as a manager.
- delegation strategies, tactics, tips, and tricks.
- setting expectations and accountability.
- performance management.
- managing up, down, and across.
- culture of feedback.
We will have assessment before the dojo, definition of goals for every participant, and progress management throughout the course.
Thanks for the opportunity to bring more clarity!
