“With good conventional management, you can achieve your goals. By applying a Developing Leadership, you can go even further…”

The aim of this course is to give you a solid foundation for consciously developing your leadership on a daily basis; and to contribute to developing you and your organization towards greater efficiency.

Before the course start, your current leadership style is mapped. This is done by you yourself and those you select from your work environment filling in a rating form. The results of this rating are qualityassured on a scientific basis by the Swedish National Defence College (FHS).

The course runs for four days, with three days initially and one day’s followup after three months. The course is run in groups of 8–15 people and is led by experienced and certified facilitators. You first get a theoretical grounding in the Developing Leadership model. Thereafter, lectures alternate with exercises in which you work actively on strengthening your current leadership.

Throughout the course, you get personal feedback from the other course participants and the course facilitators. You receive personal supervision in continuing to develop and strengthen your leadership based on your own personal action plan. The last part of the course is the reunion with followup three months later to firmly establish your personal action plan.
