The Leadership Grid® Seminar (LGS)LGS is a comprehensive learning experience in leadership. It is based on behavioral

science principles that integrate people development with organization development.

It challenges our mental models related to achieving results with people.

It develops our knowledge, skills, and attitudes to foster relationship

competency, team building, and systematic organizational change.

These are based on the seminal Grid philosophy, a scientific

methodology, and emphasis on experiential, shared learning.

And, with this seminal Grid® theory1 being continually

enriched over fifty years, the seminar provides an

intense opportunity to build our foundations

for sound leadership and culture on modern

methods and to nurture the power to

change in the 21st century.

The benefits of LGSTo the individual, LGS provides an opportunity to:

• Discover own leadership actions, practices, and their causalities

• Understand various leadership models and theories in action

• Revisit own vision and direction for marked andmeasurable success

To the organization, LGS provides executives with a:

• Proven bases for productive relationships, teamwork, andorganizational synergy

• Common language, method, and set of values, behaviors, measures, and actions that render successful strategies

• Platform for leading change alongside dynamic development of organizational capabilities, regardless ofenvironmental situations

1 The Grid® theory is the pioneering systems approach to leadership development and change management. It allows for multiple points of intervention and deploys measurement techniques in the assessment of resources, relationships, and results. LGS is a base – the first step in a more enduring development effort for next-level productivity and sustained synergy. The focus of LGS is on developing the major relationship skills – advocacy, conflict resolution, critique, decision-making, initiative, inquiry, and resilience –and directing their impact for breakthrough results.

Critical Leadership Questions:• How/where are you as a leader

• How do you win the commitment of your people

• Are you aware of your and your people’s potential Are they• Do you know how these compare to international

norms of sound professional leadership

• What is the team spirit in your organization• Are your work teams pulling together,

merely surviving, or falling apart

• How do you enhance your (and your people’s) potential• Do you (or they) understand ways of learning together

to attain or even outdo the norms

• Do you utilize behavioral technology to plan and implement strategies, processes, projects, and plans

• How do you sense hidden conflicts

• Is yours an adaptive ownership culture• How do you codify and maintain

organizational purpose, values, and vision

Answering the above questionsthrough Grid® OD:

• Relate to wider, systemic outcomes

• Close gaps between desired theory of leadershipand actual actions-in-practice

• Learn simple yet powerful measuring techniques applied to(typically non-quantified) behavioral interactions

• An opportunity to select a major challenge and start applying Grid® theory to it

• Evolve from ‘who’s right’ to ‘what’s right’

• Shift focus from asking for more resources (efficiency)to delivering more with same resources (effectiveness)

• Build resilience for competitive advantage in increasingly complex times

• Emphasize excellence in everything you and your organization undertakes

• Given our immense problems and escalating complexity, we need many new leaderswho exemplify excellence. Grid® OD is a crucial support element in such a pursuit

Who is The Leadership Grid Seminar® designed for?All people in leadership roles develop through LGS. The more persons one relates to, or the greater

the performance one is held accountable for, the larger the benefit derived from this seminar.

Organizations orchestrate a variety of relationships for meaningful Grid learning and systematic organizational development.These include: Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal, Regional, Teams, X-Teams, Project/Process Roles, Hybrids, and others.2

This is an important organization design and development consideration. Its decision, if carefully made, can foster an adaptive, high-achieving, and ownership culture.

Leaders who report significantadvantage and far-reaching results:

■ Board Members ■ Chief Executives ■ C-suite Executives and Staffers ■ Divisional Heads ■ Functional Heads ■ Process Owners ■ Project and Program Directors ■ Technology Leaders

Additional roles and levels havealso produced great results:

Branch and Plant Supervisors ■ Infrastructure Management ■

Process Coordinators ■ Project and Program Managers ■

Senior Managers ■ Specialists and Staffers ■

Team Leaders ■

Progressive organizations involve all roles and levels and, within a defined time period, expedite this foundation building to achieve a broader and more inclusive cultural, communication, and competitive advantage. Several organizations have successfully chosen multiple participants in different roles and levels to expedite the benefits of Grid® theory. Other organizations choose to send middle management in large numbers after their C-suite and functional heads have undergone the LGS experience.2

2 Based on your organizational vision and needs, an experienced consultant in Grid® OD can help you understand the options for designing the most appropriate Grid interventions and the roles and people to invest in developing with the Grid seminars.

IMPORTANT NOTE:LGS is an intense seminar; the Prework is important; the seminar is paced in content and process; the learning curve is substantial; there is little repetition; no time for external work (meetings, calls); and, during the sessions, one has to include multiple viewpoints and integrate these using the Grid® framework. Each day starts at 8 a.m. sharp and concludes between 8 and 9 p.m. The rewards of dedicated participation are enormous – the return on investment (ROI) is considerable.
