Operational Character

Although most senior leaders already have strong operational skills, the session will identify areas for improvement and addresses certain habits that hinder this dimension of leadership. Positive traits that will be reinforced include agility, effectiveness, efficiency, delegation, initiation, thoroughness, perseverance and solution-orientation. Negative traits in this dimension could be hesitation, procrastination, lack of discipline, indecisiveness and absentmindedness.

Social Character

This session will focus on interpersonal aspects of leadership and how a strong leader should and should not act in relation to team members, subordinates, and peers. Examples of positive traits in this category that will be reinforced consist of being supportive, engaging, empathetic, inspiring, motivating, inclusive and influential. Another key attribute of a socially competent leader is to look for and create win-win situations. On the other hand, during this session, the participants will go through several exercises and case studies to learn how to avoid negative traits such as competitiveness, win-lose attitude, social avoidance, and inappropriate language.
