InterActive Leadership™ offers a fresh perspective—an opportunity to benchmark against a model of world-class success supported by over 30 years of empirical research. Participants work with their whole selves—their inner motivations as well as their external, observable actions. During the workshop, participants embark on a path to develop the competencies needed to produce enhanced leadership performance; follow-up coaching ensures lasting results.

Based on the pioneering research of our founder, David H. Burnham, and Harvard psychologist Dr. David C. McClelland, we have identified not only how today’s superior leaders behave, but also, more importantly, how they think. Our research clearly indicates that these leaders produce a discernible thought pattern that drives and organizes their behavior. The result is world-class success. We call this the ThoughtAction Sequence™ of InterActive Power.

Workshop Overview

Using our unique training methodology, participants learn how to identify their thought patterns (motives) and experience the impact of those thoughts on their ability to lead. We then introduce the precise thought pattern of InterActive Power. Participants learn how to summon these new thoughts to meet the specific demands of today’s organizational environment: leading change, focusing on results, engaging groups, and acting with emotional intelligence.

Participants work through simulations, exercises and activities in each of these critical areas in order to:

• Experience how their current thinking drives outcomes.
• Identify what areas need the most development for them.
• Develop specific goals for change.
• Learn how to make the change(s) they identify.

Individual Leadership Assessment

Each participant receives a feedback report based on data gathered before the workshop. The report helps participants gain a deeper understanding of their motivation and power orientation.

• Motivation — insight into primary social motivation—achievement, affiliation and power; how motives affect leadership behaviors as well as the behaviors and performance of
  those who are led.
  
  
• Power — insight into stages of power and how the inner world organizes and directs the
  Orientation approach to power and influence as a leader.
