  1. Leadership Development Tools for Staff: Front-Line to Executive

  2. Larry Minnix Leadership Academy at LeadingAge National • “The Larry Minnix Leadership Academy is a year-long leadership development program designed to enhance the leadership skills and core competencies of not-for-profit leaders within the LeadingAge membership.”

  3. What is leadership?‘Imagine the differences in behavior when people operate with the idea that ‘leadership means influencing the community to follow the leader’s vision’ versus ‘leadership means influencing the community to face its problems.’ – Leadership Without Easy Answers

  4. Tool #1: Check-Ins “What is on your mind?”

  5. Tool #2: The “U” Theory

  6. Tool #3: Rule of 6 • The Rule of Six is a Native American practice for expanding the possible theories we might hold about an event, or something that is challenging us.   It requires that we come up with six possible theories of what’s going on, and as we do, we expand the data we are conscious of.  Six ways to think about what we might call a problem.  Thus we are less likely to move forward precipitously and dangerously. – Judy Brown

  7. Tool #4: Cone in the Box A B

  8. Tool #4: Ladder of Inference

  9. Tool #5: Visual Explorer Exercise • Visual Explorer is based on a sizable body of research and practice that shows the power of images and objects to enable effective dialogue about complex issues. • It produces insights via random combinations of images from the card deck and one or more framing questions. • As ideas and situations become more complex, words alone are not sufficient to convey our meaning and intent in any given situation. • The images contained in Visual Explorer help by providing a visual vocabulary that helps us to express ourselves via metaphor, intuition and emotion. • This process can help teams or groups to build consensus and agreement.

  10. Tool #6: Notes of Appreciation • Notes of appreciation promote team-bonding, respect and gratitude. • Totally free feel goods for a morale boost!
