Sessions 1 & 2

So since the first session of Developing Leaders I have had a lot to think about including my leadership challenge and my own learning style.  Ideas have been discussed and something that I found interesting was the Kolb Learning Style Inventory. We all completed this during the first session to discover our learning styles out of the 4 and how we could develop that:

• Diverging
• Assimilating
• Converging
• Accommodating

Here are some of my results from the workbook:

It came as no surprise that the learning style preferred by me included learning through 'hands on' experience and being practical! The tips for me to strengthen the 'Accommodating' style were the following-

• Commit yourself to objectives
• Seek new opportunities
• Influence and lead others
• Become personally involved
• Deal with people

These are definitely something for me to consider over the course and my leadership challenge!
The second session during November focused on 'Closing the Gap' and the importance of this and how it can be done.....post to follow.
