Leadership Mastery Simulation

Skill-based training ensures that participants are able to demonstrate proficiency in applying skills to the appropriate situations with a degree of effectiveness. 

Our programs are designed using one of two methods: skill-based training or experiential-based training. In some situations, we use both methods in order to build a highly interactive and applicable program. Skill-based training ensures that participants are able to demonstrate proficiency in applying skills to the appropriate situations with a degree of effectiveness. Experiential training serves three purposes: (1) it provides a common experience from which participants can draw conclusions and relate to what happens at work; (2) it convinces participants of the need for skills and processes that they might otherwise resist learning; and (3) it provides opportunities to apply the skills – practice opportunities that are close to real life. Our Leadership Mastery program uses a structured simulation for all these purposes; the simulation can also be embedded within other programs and modules.
