The Leadership Training Activity Book: 50 Exercises

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.
