  • devise a strategy and set business/team goals/objectives/targets
  • plan how to implement a strategy

Workshops and coaching follow the basic content described in our Clear Thinking Training course but focus on the Thinking Processes, Thinking Styles, and Case Studies relevant to Leadership, plus Leadership Roles and Styles.

Delegate’s Preferred Thinking Styles, Preferred Leadership Styles, MBTI Types, and Leadership Development Areas (eg via 360 or performance reviews) can be assessed or identified prior to the workshop or coaching.
  Leadership is very different from Management
(but a Leader needs to be good at both) 
Polar Opposite
Ways of Thinking

Leadership Thinking is the polar-opposite Thinking Style to Management Thinking in the Whole Brain Thinking model. Leadership Thinking is more focused on the Visionary Thinking Quartile (which includes Strategy Thinking, Overview Thinking, and Creative Thinking).

Management Thinking is operational, more in the Task Thinking Quartile (along with Detailed Planning Thinking, Controls Thinking).
