Third Generation Leadership is all about the brain, engagement and building capacity in others!

The workshop covers:

• What is Third Generation Leadership and how does it enhance existing leadership approaches?
• How do our ingrained value systems impact on our leadership?
• How can leaders deal with the increasing complexity of today’s world?
• What are the behaviours we can use in order to be 3G Leaders?

Prior to attending the workshop, all participants will be required to complete the The BrainMap® &Yo!Dolphin!TM questionnaire and you will receive feedback from this at the workshop. Each questionnaire takes about 15-20 minutes to complete on-line. The BrainMap® & Yo!Dolphin!TM will enable you to better understand the issues involved in implementing Third Generation Leadership and for being a 3G Leader.

In your lifetime, your brain may make fundamental shifts in the way it is wired several times. And each time it does, it may produce very different new values and beliefs. And when it starts using these new values and beliefs, the world will actually look very different to it. This is critical for Third Generation Leadership and 3G Leaders.

Workshop Background:

Third Generation Leadership is the component that can draw together the various leadership approaches being used by any organisation so that the leadership provided in this 21st century is increasingly effective.

Since the 1980’s the rapid development of computer technology, the internet and social networking has revolutionised our access to knowledge as well as the way in which we interact. Those of us who completed our schooling in the 50’s and 60’s may have some difficulty in this new world, but those whose schooling has been since the 1980’s can hardly even imagine anything else.

In this first decade of the 21st Century, we have encountered a situation in which the working hours of western industrialised countries seem to be increasing. There seems to be an assumption that employees, particularly in "white collar" jobs, should be prepared to work whatever hours are required to achieve results set by their bosses. Very often it seems that those in management and executive positions are expected to be available 168 hours a week and to have no other interests or involvements other than their work. Some older people today are scared of taking leave that is due or even of seeking medical and/or dental treatment that might be required because time away from the workplace could be penalised in the next round of layoffs or cost-cutting.

We all know that “performance” is central to everything we do. We may define performance in qualitative and/or quantitative terms; in short term and/or long term time frames; of an individual, a group, an organisation, or a nation. Traditionally this performance has been obtained through some form of hierarchical organisation with those at the top having the power and authority necessary to get things done and with these people also bearing ultimate accountability for whether or not desired performance is achieved.

Today’s young people largely reject this approach. Their whole lives have been spent in a world of personalised computing, the internet, mobile phones and social networking. They expect to be involved in everything and with everyone. If these expectations are not met they are quite likely to move on – proving very costly to employers. They demand a new form of leadership in order to meet performance criteria.

Third Generation Leadership is this new form of leadership.
