(PRWEB) July 5, 2006
Leadership lies at the core of all organisational success. In the words of John Maxwell, “Everything starts and ends with leadership.” As is increasingly recognised, leadership is too important a skill to be left to formal leaders alone. Organisational effectiveness suffers, and the organisation hits performance ceilings when leadership skills are not widespread.
This programme gives participants an insight into the three core elements that must be balanced in any leadership situation if set objectives must be met. Recognising that leadership skills become embedded only through practice, participants are given the opportunity to gain accelerated experience within the context of a virtual experience leading artificially intelligent characters. Over a series of plays, participants will go from unconscious incompetence to natural leadership competence.
The simulation, currently the absolute best of its kind worldwide, has been used by world leading organisations like Microsoft, United Technologies, the U. S Army and G. E with sustained positive results.
