Leadership Development Initiative
DeepThought Growth Management System
People Growth implies Org Growth
Hardly was this week's Leadership Development Initiative (LDI) theme declared as "Situational Leadership" when all the excited interns raised their hands and formed a virtual queue to present their pitch.
It was like a long fast filling line for the best roller coaster in the world!
Soon, every one, one after the other, began to present their pitch to the audience that was supposed to subconsciously choose who they join.?
?
Saurabh, bringing his personal experience into the game, pitched,
"Describing a situation and breaking it down into pieces is crucial, I am exploring this concept, if you want to as well please join my room."
?
"It is human nature to feel trapped, if you want to flawlessly battle through conflicts through scientific reasoning, please join my room"? pitched Harleen, an intern who joined DT a week ago.
?
"Not every war is worth fighting, so is not every situation worth handling. If you want to learn how to know what situation needs your attention, come to my room,"?
looking straight into the eyes of everyone, pitched Anuraj, attracting the audience to his breakout rooms.
?
There were 27 more people who pitched to an audience of 100!?
?
Now, the pitches were over and some of the audience had already decided which room they'd join and were waiting to burst into questions as they joined that specific room. While others were going through pitches they had written in their thread builders, eagerly looking forward to deciding before the breakout rooms opened.?
?
No sooner did the breakout rooms open than everyone rushed into the leaders' room of their choice. It was like a grand mall opening in the morning with a grand sale, everyone rushing in to buy before anyone else did. The only difference was, here in the LDI, leadership styles were sold.?

As people joined various rooms, in Artuha’s breakout room, Aesha asked,
“When you do not have a situation under control, what do you do? Do you take a reactive step? Do you take a proactive step?”?
?
“Considering yourself as a CEO, how will you negotiate to bring the best opportunity to the table?”, Shubhajit asked Bhalaji in his breakout room.?
?
While every breakout room had a Socrates questioning the leaders, Sharath was the Feyman, not only giving an example but also implementing it.
He had a situation, “What if there’s a shy member in your team?”
He came up with an activity where he asked Piysuh, a shy yet people person, to interact with Naveen for 2 minutes, which went on for 5 minutes.?
?
Soon, the LDI ended. Everyone joined the main room, only when the rooms were closed, with a thought,
“Only if I had the chance to ask 1 more question!”
?
Leadership Development Initiative is a weekly ritual of DeepThought, with a 3 fold cause. We do it because:?

Do you think this world has fewer leaders? What if everyone could be a leader?

1 年To foster team effectiveness, I believe that instead of telling people and getting them to realize interdependency, take accountability, and exchange feedback, it'd be a lot better to get them to think about those by having them answer questions and articulate those ideas in their own words. Questioning, as a means of communication, can turn out to be very much effective when people do not have to take everything as an instruction and be indifferent about it. It can empower them to form their own opinions, fostering authenticity & responsibility for their beliefs and decisions.
