The Leadership Challenge: Public Workshop
August 4-5, 2009, Renaissance Chicago Hotel, Chicago, IL
The Leadership Challenge® Workshop is a unique, intensive, and highly interactive program that consistently receives rave reviews from attendees. It has served as a catalyst for profound leadership transformations in organizations of all sizes and in all industries. Participants experience and apply The Five Practices leadership model through video cases, workbook exercises, group problem-solving tasks, lectures, and outdoor action learning. Quite often we hear workshop attendees describe how The Leadership Challenge is more than a training event. In many cases they talk about how it changed their lives. It's a bold statement, we know, but we've watched it happen time after time, leader after leader.

Benefits and Outcomes:
If people are to become leaders, they must believe that they can be a positive force in the world. But some management scholars claim that leaders have little impact on organizations, that other forces—internal or external to the organization—are the determinants of success. Our evidence strongly demonstrates quite the contrary. Managers, individual contributors, volunteers, pastors, government administrators, teachers, school principals, students, and other leaders who use The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® more frequently are seen by others as better leaders. For example:
- They're more effective in meeting job-related demands.
- They're more successful in representing their units to upper management.
- They create higher-performing teams.
- They foster renewed loyalty and commitment.
- They increase motivational levels and willingness to work hard.
- They promote higher levels of involvement in schools.
- They enlarge the size of their congregations.
- They raise more money and expand gift-giving levels.
- They extend the range of their agency's services.
- They reduce absenteeism, turnover, and dropout rates.
- They possess high degrees of personal credibility.
In addition, people working with leaders who demonstrate The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® are significantly more satisfied with the actions and strategies of their leaders, and they feel more committed, excited, energized, influential, and powerful. In other words, the more people engage in the practices of exemplary leaders, the more likely it is that they'll have a positive influence on others in the organization.
