Stress. Leaders experience more stress than ever before. Your leaders often waste time because they delay confronting stressful situations head on and instead focus on the stress they feel. Where does that get them? No further ahead. This is why it is important to use a stress test to identify future leaders and see how they handle stress.
You rarely get to see how your leaders handle situations that are stressful because you are not likely in the room when “it” hits the fan. You just see the outcome.
IDENTIFYING LEADERS THROUGH TEAM-BASED CHALLENGES
When developing a team, it’s important to invest in a practical way to see how they perform in a situation that mimics real life in a time-pressured, team based challenge. Participants in team-based leadership development programs like Save the Titanic™ experience real leadership in a high-pressure situation — the ultimate stress test for your leadership team. Participants determine how they will achieve results, and each team has complete freedom of choice in each action they take. So they get to see the impact of their choices in real time.
STRESS TESTING POTENTIAL LEADERS THROUGH REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS
We structure the environment so participants deal with stress and continue to create a number of innovative solutions in a short period of time – even with the stress. The result is that they quickly figure it out. Their communication, their openness to ideas and their willingness to take risks are called to task as participants face their own performance head on. And because it is a simulation with a “role” they are playing, they are free to come up with the solutions without constraints of their regular way of working. This gives them, and you, the freedom to challenge, practice and discover alternative ways of communicating, leading and creating team – to cross over that line and get different results.
During the experience, your leaders will go from being cautious, polite and organized into experiencing everything required to create a high-performance team.
