The Leadership Game
Helps you become a better leader
The purpose of this game is reflecting on how you function in your role as a leader. What is your leadership vision and how do you put it into practice? Does your leadership vision match that of your organization? What do your employees expect from you as a manager and a leader?
The game consists of two parts:
1. Aspects of leadership (75 cards). These aspects (leadership is ...) describe a mix of behaviour, attitude and values and comprise six themes. The six themes are:
- Managing values (for example: treating everyone fairly).
- Aims and results (for example: bringing out the best in your employees).
- Managing people (for example: knowing what is going on among your employees).
- Managing (for example: setting and monitoring procedures).
- Decision-making (for example: making sure that decisions are fully understood and supported by your employees).
- Self-management (for example: adjusting your own behaviour).
2. Pictures (40 cards). This series of striking images and photographs can be used as a medium to discuss concepts of leadership.
