Youth Leadership & Team Building

Youth Leadership and Team Building Program

The Leadership and Team Building Program is a unique and powerful experience. The program consists of a half day of team exercises and the use of the Values-Based Leadership Assessment. This integrated combination of academic models and skills is a well tested formula for bringing groups together and for creating growth with each individual.

The Youth Leadership Assessment is a 35 question instrument designed to give each individual a fresh perspective on their personal leadership behavior set. Statistically driven questions are quantified in 5 categories including Supports Others, Self Management, Awareness, Excellence and Motivates Others. Each participant reviews their own strengths and weaknesses as Leaders for a heightened awareness and application during the program.

• Supports Others
• Self Management
• Awareness
• Excellence
• Motivates Others

Team Exercises are conducted to demonstrate the dynamics of the team, and may involve having the group achieve a goal under simulated time pressure or work out the dynamics of a complex multi-phased project with varying roles and responsibilities. Relational issues quickly emerge as each group demonstrates their natural way of working together. Professional program trainers help the group explore new skills and techniques for working together and practice in the experiential environment created. The group proves to themselves that they can become more efficient and effective by applying the skills and characteristics of effective leaders and high performing teams- emphasized throughout the program.

Facilitation of the program by experienced Quality Values professionals provides the process and structure by which the team participates in a healthy examination of themselves, explores new skills and makes commitments to more effective easy of operating. The environment created fosters the development of a strong team identity and positive experience, breaking down and letting go of old issues and barriers, and the acceptance and appreciation of all team members.

Program Summary and Celebration takes the time at the end of the program to capture what has been learned and what the team is willing to commit to applying to increase teamwork effectiveness as well as the individual insights and commitments to increasing personal effectiveness.
