Challenge Based Development World & Polish Business Leaders about challenges and experiences

Tomorrow’s leaders get their training by dealing with today’s challenges. You have to take the ones with the most potential and send them where the action is... Leaders are formed in the fires of experience. Carlos Ghosn, CEO Nissana i Renault Tłumaczenie własne (Ghosn & Ries, 2005, pp. 152–153).

I don’t believe in intuition. Maybe I will say something controversial, but intuition is experiences that we can’t knowingly associate. If some person doesn’t have experiences, he also doesn’t have an intuition.

Challenge is an ambitious task, fulfilled by a particular manager. The task is relevant to the role and responsibilities of the manager.

The challenge is tailored to the results of psychological diagnosis of the manager and the possibilities of a particular organization.

The challenge should be considered both demanding and new for the manager.

Challenge – what does it mean? IAKG definition

1. Leadership is learned from experience.

2. Certain experiences matter more than others.

3. These experiences are powerful because of the challenges they present.

4. Different types of experiences teach different lessons.

5. Jobs and assignments can be made more developmental.

6. People can get many of the experiences they need in spite of the obstacles.

7. Learning takes place over time and it’s dynamic, with all manner of twists and turns.

Challenge Based Development ™ Seven Sure Bets by McCall

The CBD™ procedure First diagnosis, then action

A typical program takes 8 to 10 weeks. The time required to complete the development program depends on the availability of the manager and the cooperation between the Client and IAKG.

Diagnostic testing First diagnosis, then action

Tools used by IAKG allow to build a comprehensive profile of a person in the work context. It is possible due to the methodical multi-level diagnosis combined with an understanding of the relations between multiple levels.
