Hi Katie, I'm not sure if this will be helpful, here's what I do for our Leadership skills we want to hard wire across the organization.
I look at our model which has a four main leadership behaviors and the skills/practices related to each behavior the leader needs to be able to do. Then as I'm building training related the behavior, I make sure they are able to practice the skills.
Example:
If the first behavior is Purpose, you would have the actions they need to be able to perform that demonstrates Purpose.
Then design your learning to help them practice it in action.
So basically I am aligning learning experiences (using our model as the guide) to what we want leaders to be able to do.
This is helpful, thanks Cyd! A few follow-up questions:
- Who created your four main leadership behaviors? Right now, we don't have a process so I'm thinking we'd need to have our stakeholders align on a process first, so we can then link behaviors they need to be able to do.
- How are you documenting the skills and practices? I'm really stuck on how to capture this in like a Word doc.
- When are you implementing this exercise into your design process?
- Also, how are you defining Purpose as a skill/behavior? I'm intrigued!
