Exerpt from the MLQ Trainer's Guide "A Leadership Development Heuristic"

Welcome to our leadership development journey

In the past, common wisdom declared that transformational leadership was limited to world class leaders. It was the product of a lifetime of development and a matter permanently fixed by genes, childhood, education, and experience. Transformational leadership was not something you could teach because it was not supposed to be trainable.

Through our research and now based on thousands of research papers conducted by other authors, we know this assumption to be unfounded. If transformational leadership has not already been developed through life and work experience, then we know it can be trained through the Full Range Leadership Development Workshop.

The quality of this training program depends on you – the trainer – and how you model transformational leadership qualities. As the trainer, it is critical for you to inspire confidence, stimulate intellectual processes, and show concern for the individual development needs of your participants. By demonstrating the authentic, transactional, and transformational qualities, yourself, you not only teach participants what to do but you will also increase their identification with the qualities and process.

The primary goal of the Full Range Leadership Development Workshop is to take participants from a beginning stage of awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses as a leader, to a final stage of adapting and implementing new of revised orientations towards leading others. This model has application whether others are direct reports, co-workers in teams, clients, or even one's supervisor or someone else in a position of higher authority.

In the optimal scenario, participants will leave your workshop understanding their own implicit model of leadership, how it blends with the Full Range of Leadership model and how they can further develop and improve as a leader in today's demanding environment.
