Preparation for Module 1

• Think about someone you know personally whom you admire as a leader but who you have not been managed by. This might be in a work context or in your personal life, someone senior, a peer or even someone junior to you. Prepare a 1 minute presentation about them, that you will give on the first day of the module, without slides: “A leader I admire and why”.

• Take some time to review and reflect on the results of your Leadership Profile, and the Development Goals that you have begun to set for yourself from the coaching session on your Profile Results. You will be spending some time refining these in this Module.

• Module 1 is designed around the two Foundation Elements of the Vital Leader Framework, Individuality and Insight. These are explored in Chapters 1 and 2 of the book, The Vital Leader, which you can download as a PDF (link to download here). We will be not be working through the chapters explicitly in the session, but you can read them for further stimulus or thinking around these two key elements.
