Objectives
The client wanted the managers to boost their leadership competencies. Specifically setting goals, communicating clearly and openly, emotional intelligence, decision-making, and building mutual trust.
Solution
Given the small size of the team, initially the client wanted to organize a training workshop. However, after discussions with us, they changed their mind, recognizing that a corporate game would be more effective, with stronger and lasting results.
Uczestnicy pracowali w 4 zespołach (załogach statków Defender 4). Stanęli przed wieloma wyzwaniami z jakimi mierzą się na co dzień liderzy, związanymi z inspirowaniem zespołu do realizacji wspólnych celów. Aby osiągnąć dobry wynik, musieli między innymi mieć klarowną wizję przyszłości, odpowiednio wykorzystać potencjał zespołu, podejmować decyzje w oparciu o kalkulowane ryzyko, być otwarci na dialog, dbać o zaangażowanie i entuzjazm wśród załogi.
Results
The Cosmos 4000. Mission to Avalone game allowed us to achieve all the intended goals. Here are participants’ answers to the question: “What did this game make you realize? What did it inspire you to do? What are your takeaways?”
“You don’t have to be born a leader. You can learn it”
“There is a big difference between managing people and being an inspiring leader”
“A leader should have a clear vision and be able to communicate it”
“Delegating and enforcing tasks is not enough to be a true team leader…you also need to be able to motivate the team to want to follow you…and that’s what the Cosmos 4000 game inspired me to do”
“A good leader should be an excellent listener; empathy is important”
“A leader does not hide behind excuses; they take responsibility for the team, celebrate its successes, and answer for its mistakes”
“An effective leader grants employees autonomy and encourages them to take initiative, while excellently leveraging each person’s strengths”
“An effective leader is coherent and consistent in action, i.e., does what he/she says”
