The Alphabet Exercise
An exercise used to help people to understand what are the critical leadership attributes that are most important to them.
- Intro (5 minutes)
- Get each person to create an alphabet of leadership attributes that are of most significance / importance to them. One for each letter; minimum of 20. (2 minutes)
- Collate a group-wide super-set of the attributes chosen by getting people to vocalise what they have written down. (10 minutes)
- Now get everyone to filter their individual lists to identify the 10 attributes that are the most important to them. (2 minutes)
- Quick discussion: “How did you find that exercise?” (5 minutes)
- Now get everyone to filter their individual lists to identify just the most important 3 attributes. (2 minutes)
- Feedback session getting individuals’ perspectives on their list and collating a new group-wide super-set (on a white board etc.) (15-30 minutes)
- Open discussion on the super-set. (5-15 minutes)
- Overall time = 46-71 minutes.
