Anticipate the objections that simulation-based leadership training will attract internally and answer them in advance.
Designing Simulation-Based Leadership Training Programmes
Turn simulation-based leadership training from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
When simulation-based leadership training is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on the wider organisational leadership agenda, which nobody trained them for. Where this aspect of organisational leadership is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants finish able to explain simulation-based leadership training to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this area of organisational leadership rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of organisational leadership and to those who are held accountable for its results. It concentrates on the parts of simulation-based leadership training that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The version of this strand of organisational leadership described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of organisational leadership broken into steps someone can start on Monday.

Course Modules
Simulation-based leadership training: measuring whether leadership actually changed anything
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Moving simulation-based leadership training through people who do not report to you

Session 2Making simulation-based leadership training work when resources are constrained
- Set escalation thresholds for simulation-based leadership training that work out of hours.
- Identify which function can quietly block simulation-based leadership training and address it directly.
- Set the decision rights on simulation-based leadership training: who decides, who is consulted, who is told.

Simulation-based leadership training: conflict, politics and informal power
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Applying the standard on simulation-based leadership training to your best performer
- Review a past decision on simulation-based leadership training and state honestly what you would change.
- Identify your successor for simulation-based leadership training and the gap they need to close.
- Confirm that those complying with simulation-based leadership training understand why it exists.

- Prepare how you will respond when simulation-based leadership training is challenged publicly.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about simulation-based leadership training.
- Name the person accountable for each part of simulation-based leadership training, not the committee.
