A Different Type of Team Event
Only one leadership course stands out as having had an enduring impact on my own personal growth, revealing leadership lessons that I still refer to in coaching conversations today. ‘Leadership Skills using the Outdoors’ took place on a farm and utilised the surroundings in various imaginative ‘spy’ games. I was a newly promoted Nursing Sister in the company of colleagues, most of whom were senior to me in our roles outside this event. It was a great levelling experience, and I got to witness the best and worst of leadership styles in action.
I never forgot the creativity that was unleashed by removing people from their usual context and, over the years, developed my own style of facilitation that draws heavily on metaphor to encourage more lateral thinking. Using the outdoors worked for me – but it doesn’t work for everyone, and isn’t always practical. Luckily, history and the world around us are full of wonderful metaphors bursting with relevance to leadership and business. We just need a moment to notice and make the connection.
