Evolve Leadership

As we are working with lots of teams on King with different challenges - we saw a need to improve and evolve the leadership from a team perspective. Today most of this work is very reactive and in a firefighting way. We would like a more proactive way of working.

The purpose is in a organized way give our leader on King a gift of how to improve their leadership and to give our core workers a channel to give this gift.

We ran 2 sessions with leaders from both test group A and B that has received really good scores and asked them to group the tags. After they had grouped them we asked them to name the areas (Attributes). In this way we back off, and instead of assuming we understand and know what a good leader is and what attributes that defines them we let the good leaders that we have to define them.
