Outbound Training Programmes For Leadership

One of the most stimulating challenges faced by various organizations today is their ‘inability to adapt to fast-paced changes’ or lack of preparation for an ‘uncertain future.’ Research conducted by Harvard Business Publishing has ample evidence to prove that the deficiency inherently lies in the inadequate focus on the ‘right kind’ of leadership training.

Many companies spent a fortune on various leadership-trainings with little or no effect. Do you know the key reason? Because most of these programs are designed to incorporate multiple ideas and concepts without much focus on ‘habit formation.’

“If you want to break through to higher levels of performance, you must allow yourself to be restructured.” 
― William A. Adams, Mastering Leadership: An Integrated Framework for Breakthrough Performance and Extraordinary Business Results

Yes - Leadership is a ‘habit’ that you develop through experience, application, reflection, and reformation. It requires time. It is more about ‘building skills’ than gaining knowledge. You can learn various points and concepts that you’ll be able to add to your leadership toolkit, but without forming a habit, you’ll inevitably fail to put these into action.

The corporate outbound training has the ‘sheer potential’ to impact participant’s perspectives and behaviors and transfer these learnings to the workplace.

How does outbound training help to build ‘effective’ leaders?

Effective leaders are not just people with excellent interpersonal skills; they also need to have a strong sense of self-awareness, clear vision, risk-taking abilities and above all the capability to listen and accept new ideas with the willingness to change. No leader is born with these qualities; instead, they evolve into strong personalities by building on these habits.

That is why our outbound leadership training programs are focused on ‘experiential learning’ where we use innovative and fun corporate team building activities. We ‘engage’ participants to experiment, build, analyze and apply their learnings in following activities to create an impact in the workplace.

Learn to lead by ‘positive influence.’

“Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.” — Stephen Covey

As a leader, you must be capable to ‘rally your troops.’ No doubt, getting everybody on the same page is not easy - but if you master the art, it becomes a tremendous asset. Anybody can be a leader but to be a ‘good’ one, you need to have the confidence, charisma, and ability to interact and collaborate with individuals from all levels.

You need to be able to control your emotions as well as be sensitive towards others. The ability to manage emotions can have a profound influence on done and of course your relationships and the way you manage teams in the workplace. The outbound-trainings help to implement this with several activities that will test the ‘emotional intelligence’ of your leaders. Participants can get a fair idea of their strengths and work on their weaknesses through continuous reformation.

Ability to make ‘informed decisions,’ ‘execute’ and ‘deliver’ them

Leaders who can gauge a situation thoroughly and make quick and stern decisions are more effective than their counterparts. This ability may seem more natural than it is. Apart from the intellectual power to decode information, they also require the confidence to instill trust in their decisions and follow through with them.

Haven’t we seen several examples of leaders who swiftly managed their way up? What’s that one thing they all have in common? – It’s the ability to ‘get stuff done.’ These leaders create a strategic plan and find a way to execute them in a timely and effective manner. All this has to be managed while ensuring that their employees are also getting that work-life balance they need to stay energized and motivated.

The outbound programs have several activities that focus on this ‘key aspect’ of being able to get things done and of course – effectively!

Have a ‘Vision’ and be able to ‘Communicate it Clearly.’

Share organizational vision & objectives with your team so that they have a clear path to follow. Get them to ‘buy into’ your vision by explaining to them how it can improve the business and in turn benefit them. To be able to do this, it is imperative to work on your ‘communication’ and ‘listening’ skills.

Yes - It is as essential to take in the feedback of the employees as it is to impart your ideas to them. The outbound program will enable the participants to accept suggestions from fellow team-mates willingly. This capability allows them to feel a sense of ‘belonging’ and will greatly help in improving their productivity. The outbound sessions will help in ‘formulating your vision’ and ‘communicating’ it through various activities that focus on building your verbal, non-verbal and listening skills.

Be willing to ‘Educate Yourself’ and ‘Swiftly Adapt.’

It’s a fact - We are all prone to errors! A great leader is well aware that the key to success is not to avoid failures but to have the willingness to learn from your mistakes and make the necessary changes. The key is to ‘never stop learning.’ Always keep looking for changes and new information around the world and beyond and be willing to adapt swiftly.

The corporate outbound training includes several self-assessments sessions where participants are asked not only to perform tasks but to reflect on their learning and make necessary amendments to enable them to perform better.

Creating compelling and influential leaders at all levels requires ‘substantial’ and ‘sustained’ effort. There are no shortcuts to developing deep and broad leadership teams. It is a continuous effort that puts ‘prospective leaders’ in roles that stretch them beyond their current skills and continuously coaching and encouraging them so that they can evolve into effective leaders as rapidly as possible. Outbound-trainings focus on instilling these vital skills and qualities relevant for leaders through constant pre and post assessments to deliver the desired outcomes.
