Course Outline
360 Degree Leadership
Leadership is a complicated and difficult skill, one that no single person ever
maters. There are some things you do well as a leader, and some you do
poorly. It is same for all leaders, the same for you. Even the greatest leaders
from history had blind spots and weak areas.

So what’s the solution? Organizations need to develop leadership teams at
every level! A group of leaders working together is always more effective than
one leader working alone. And for teams to develop at every level, they need
leaders at every level.

OPENING
Display Power point Slide 1 ‘360 Degree, the art if leading from the middle’
and Leave it up until you start the Session. Start the Session Promptly.
Welcome all the participants and thank them for attending the Seminar.
Explain that the Session will introduce a new concept in Leading from the
Middle.
Active participation by contributing ideas and opinions will be an important
factor in effective learning during the seminar.
Activity (5 Mins)
Mind Grabbing
Display Power point Slide 2 ‘Whodunnit’.
Purpose: The purpose of slide 2 is to focus participants’ attention on the
seminar and introduce the concept of logic reasoning.
Note to the trainer: The seminar is about leading from where ever you are
at the moment in any organization. Explain that this seminar will involve
looking inwards, thinking deep to find most leadership questioning being
answered right where we are.
If you can reason more most times, you can solve the problems naturally
passed on to your uplink leader. We all can lead, if we reason more!
Encourage maximum participation. Tell them that to get the best results
from this session, total involvement is necessary. Contributions from each
participant are expected and will be a key factor in learning
Ask participants if they have any questions. If so, respond to them.
Introduce yourself and any other Trainer(s) in the room.

10 Minutes
Display Power point Slide 6 and 7 ‘A leader is..’, to introduce course
proper.
Participants need:
• Pen
• Paper
Ask participants to stand up say something about a leader, as it relates to
them in their own words, and not text book meaning.
Explain that the statement, ‘‘everything rises and falls on leadership’’ is
often said by John Maxwell, and this is true. When we are discussing the
performance of an organisation, we cannot but talk about leadership.
Now, how do we define a leader?
Tell them that there are several leadership definitions, but for this course,
we chose to use this: A leader is "a person who influences a group of
people towards the achievement of a goal". A mnemonic for this definition
would be 3P's - Person, People and Purpose.
Ask as you discuss: Is leadership a position of office or authority? Or, is
leadership ability in the sense that he is a leader because he leads? We all
may know or hear of people who are in positions of leadership but who are
not providing leadership. A position of office is no guarantee of leadership
but it helps in the sense that a leadership position usually commands a
listening ear from its people and that is a good starting point for anyone
who desires to be a leader
Activity (5 Mins)
Spot the Difference
Display Power point Slide 8 ‘Spot the Difference…look inwards’.
Purpose: The purpose of slide 8 is to lead participants’ into looking
inwards on issues and deeper within themselves, when in need or search
of leadership solutions.
Explain that often times, we escalate issues to our superiors whereas, if
only we assess the situation properly, looking inwards, we may just have
solution to the issue.
Note to the Trainer: Have some hints on the differences:
1. The two ties,
2. The book with the man in blue shirt,

The table,
The Fumigant’s collar,
The painting on the wall of the man in suit,
The hanging on the wall behind the fumigant’s head
Explain that Imagine the time spent on looking for differences, and
getting them. Solving leadership problems involve taking time to studying
the problems, look at various options, learning to spot the differences and
at the end, we arrive at the solutions.
Explain to them that In most cases, that is what out uplink we do,
whereas we expect them to have automatic answers at all times.
We too can start to reason as our uplinks do, even though we are yet to
get to their level. If we do these, then, we are ready to be from leading
where we are.
Display Power point Slide 9 ‘Leaders or leaders?’ and Slide 10.
Ask them to refer to their definition of leader as discussed in Slide 7.
Define a Leader. Again, there are several definitions, but use this: A leader
by its meaning is one who goes first and leads by example, so that others
are motivated to follow him. This is a basic requirement. To be a leader, a
person must have a deep-rooted commitment to the goal that he will strive
to achieve it even if nobody follows him
Compare with what participants have in their notes.
Explain that ‘The leader as defined above can and should not be exclusive
to those at the top alone. We should recognize that a successful
organization will need this leadership to be present at all levels’.
The explanation will lead into discussing Leadership differences
The question in Slide 9 should now be answered. They are homonyms but
not synonyms. There are "Big L" leaders and "small l" leaders. The problem
is that the ones we most want are the small l types and they don't get quite
the press of others.
Use this to explain Slide 10. So, to put it in a nutshell:
•
•
•
•
Leaders don't necessarily lead
leaders aren't necessarily Leaders
Leadership sometimes shows leadership but sometimes doesn't and
there isn't a lot you can say or do
leadership doesn't only reside in the Leadership
End the Introduction by emphasizing the last point, ‘Leadership doesn’t
only reside in the so called ‘Leadership’
