Leadership Development
The Leeward Team offers two types of leadership development programs: Enhanced Thinking Skills and Leadership Style Assessment. These programs can be offered as stand alone or combined training solutions. For a greater return on investment, opting for the combined training solution is ideal. The Enhanced Thinking Skills approach teaches participants how to separate emotion from facts, the positive from the negative, and critical thinking from creative thinking. The Leadership Style Assessment approach helps identify existing behaviors and cultivate preferred behaviors that are based on context-specific best practices to develop leadership skills.
The Leeward Team’s leadership development programs are fast-paced, practical and interactive.
Enhanced Thinking Skills Program
The Six Thinking Hats® promotes effective “Leadership Development” by aligning the thought generation process into six lateral thinking areas referred to as the Six Thinking Hats. The Six Thinking Hats approach to thought generation allows for issues to be fully considered. It ensures that full focus is placed on a thought by following a logical flow: purpose and focus, information, ideas, intuitive response, positive evaluation, and negative evaluation.
It is also a tool to ensure that management is in the right frame of mind during change and that all energies are collectively focused on particular aspects of the thought.
