Leadership StrateGems: Cultivating Organic Leadership

The information age heralds an organic style of leadership based upon inspiration, guidance and mentoring. The Leadership StrateGems program helps executives reconstruct their hierarchies naturally, with nested layers of responsibility, and create exciting work environments where collective intelligence emerges from united group efforts.

In this modular program, leaders learn how to increase loyalty and cooperation, improve morale, reduce internal competition and turnover, and transcend common communication issues. Ten modules guide leaders to broader perspectives on creative power and increase the ability to guide and inspire from the heart. Leaders who take this approach are better able to engage staff as real team members working toward a shared vision and purpose.

This dynamic and fast-paced seminar helps leaders define a powerful vision for uniting group efforts that inspires a new level of personal responsibility and collaboration within their companies. Leaders learn how to cultivate direct communication and operate with greater group intelligence, honor the diversity of experience within their organizations, and fully utilize their valuable brain capital. Leaders gain tools for reconstructing their hierarchies as fractal patterns that are expansive and evolutionary. The benefits of reconstructing your hierarchy and organizing for continuous improvement include:

Increased productivity
Improved profitability
Reduced turnover
Increased morale
Improved cooperation & collaboration

Module 1 Organic Leadership

Objective: Learn principles of organic leadership including sharing power, encouraging internal cooperation, building trust, and redefining leadership success as guidance, inspiration, and mentoring.

Benefits: Participants learn how to shift from control to cooperation through understanding how Nature evolves through adaptation to changing conditions. Applying particular scientific principles to organizational operations helps leaders distribute responsibility for success across the organization.

Module 2 Shared Vision

Objective: Understand the fundamental, scientific reasons why shared vision coheres the overall efforts in groups and keeps everyone on the same page with shared purpose, goals, and objectives.

Benefits: Participants create a shared vision or enhance their understanding of how an already existing vision can be amplified to inspire greatness across the organization. Leaders who understand how this works accelerate beneficial change through exciting and successful teamwork.

Module 3 Natural Hierarchy

Objective: Enhance cooperation through a new, organic structure that replaces top-down hierarchy and improves relationships across the organization.

Benefits: Organic leaders learn to grant functional-level staff the responsibilities and authority for improving their own work processes within the context of the group’s shared vision. Cross-functional team building improves efficiencies throughout the organization by leveraging resources more strategically.

Module 4 Collective Intelligence

Objective: Learning how to operate with group intelligence instead of relying only upon leadership for functional decision-making, thereby reducing expensive interaction costs from lack of cooperation.

Benefits: Participants gain new tools for increasing collective intelligence and freeing information from “silos” of information that was previously inaccessible across departmental functions. The ability to leverage collective intelligence is what distinguishes great organizations.

Module 5 Diverse Personalities

Objective: Understanding why a focus on personality issues is a dead-end approach to solving communication problems. Embracing the diversity of opinions and viewpoints provides all the information needed to adapt and evolve to changing conditions.

Benefits: Trying to control the behavior of humans is a futile exercise. Leaders who engage the diversity of viewpoints and direct outcomes based upon shared vision, goals, and objectives will always find ways to solve problems and find the best outcome in any situation or project.

Module 6 Direct Communication

Objective: Learning how to make, keep, and amend agreements and maintain organizational integrity through improved communication tools.

Benefits: Everyone navigates life with assumptions, which is why we have so many communication issues. Agreements-based work requires more time on the front end but produces less waste and fewer mistakes during the process and, thus, produces results that are healthier for the bottom-line.

Module 7 Emotional Intelligence

Objective: Gain skills for increasing your emotional intelligence, which is the capability to see the big picture from an objective viewpoint and mitigate the stress response.

Benefits: Participants learn how to train their thoughts and guide group intentions toward achieving shared vision, purpose, goals, and objectives. The ability to shift a dramatic situation into one with a positive outcome is invaluable not only in business, but also in personal lives.

Module 8 Group Collaboration

Objective: Participants learn communication tools for guiding and participating in group discussions and conversations.

Benefits: Encouraging everyone to participate guarantees no rocks left unturned in your quest for the best solutions and most innovative ideas. In natural hierarchies, leaders are rewarded for facilitating dialogues that allow contrasting viewpoints and out-of-box thinking to be considered within the parameters of organizational goals, purposes, and objectives.

Module 9 Personal Mastery

Objective: Gain skills for reducing stress and choosing how you respond in emotionally charged situations.

Benefits: Participants learn relaxation, visualization, and meditation techniques for healthier brains and bodies. Choosing comedy over drama enables win-win outcomes in any situation.

Module 10 Transformation Architecture

Objective: Leaders learn the process for transforming their organization from a top-down hierarchy into a natural model and how to engage the participation of staff in this process.

Benefits: Eliminate the need for arduous “change management” processes by involving everyone in your organization in the process of transforming it.

Program does not include auxilliary services, such as leadership consulting and development, Brain Map assessment surveys, or complementary team building activities such as ropes courses, star parties, cooking classes, and more.
