The Leadership Training Activity Book: 50 Exercises

(John Hannent) #1
MATERIALS
Select one visual image that represents the leadership program, the organization, or
an industry. Suggestions include:

 A visual representation of the company's logo or headquarters in the
background, and the words representing the modules in your program
in the foreground.
 An illustration or photograph of leaders (women and men), across which are
printed the titles of the program modules.

The chosen visual image should be enlarged to approximately the size of a placemat.
Then, mount it on cardboard and cut it into fairly large "puzzle" pieces.
EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
None

ROOM SET-UP
Flexible, as long as the puzzle frame can remain in a fixed place throughout the work-
shop.

Comments
This idea works well if your leadership program is organized into several modules or
will extend over a period of days. Each piece of the puzzle can represent one module
or one day.

Trainer’s Notes for Activity 8


STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
Step 1: Introduce the puzzle to participants at the beginning of the leadership
program. Show it first as an assembled whole, and then place the pieces
in a bag. Keep the puzzle frame on display in the room throughout the
workshop or program, so each added piece is visible to all.

Step 2: At the end of each module or training day, one piece will be added to
the puzzle. Select one of these two ways to do this.
 Ask for a volunteer to select the piece that will be added and to
explain why she/he selected that one.
