Four Quadrant Leadership Seminars

Participants in each of the following classes receive substantial manuals, supplementary notes and other information.

STAGE 1 FOR LEADERS – Three days

This class is attended by people who have leadership responsibilities and by those who will soon be promoted to a leadership role.

It is designed to help participants seek accurate scientific information about many processes that influence individuals, groups, organisations and leadership. Here are some topics that are :

Fallacies, superstitions and reliable evidence about the factors that shape mind and behaviour.
Serious errors in several theories about human motivations.
(EG Freud, Maslow, Skinner etc.)
The nature and causes of constructive and destructive energies.
Leaders’ relationships with their team members.
Understanding and managing stress without falling into distress.
Assessing and improving personal resources.
Methods for accurately determining the decision-making authorities awarded by leaders to their colleagues – and many other issues.

STAGE 2 FOR LEADERS – Three days

This seminar is attended by graduates of the Stage 1 class, usually six or more months after they completed that seminar.

Some of the topics are:

Revising Stage 1 learnings.
Evaluating progress achieved in applying that information to our own teams.
The causes and symptoms of “Groupthink” -

Many groups of intelligent powerful people have made absurd decisions that ultimately produced calamities. What are the influences that produce those catastrophes? How can we detect and avoid them? We explore examples of that symptom in politics, religions, “common sense” beliefs, organisations and elsewhere.

Some people are disabled by moderate stress while others maintain resilience and high performance standards when threatened by unrelenting, massive stresses for long periods of time. How do we predict and explain these differences? What lessons do they offer?
Practical methods for monitoring, evaluating and changing peoples’ behaviour including.
Conditioning
Counselling
Copying
Conversion
Plus other topics nominated by the class.

STAGE 3 FOR LEADERS

A more intensive examination of facts and actions that were summarised at the Stage 1 and Stage 2 classes.
Participants summarise their problems and achievements since the previous seminars, and nominate topics that they now wish to explore.
Identifying and resolving value conflicts.
Methods for monitoring our responses to stress and assisting others to achieve the same preventative and remedial skills.
The consequences we suffer in mind, body and behaviour when unable to manage stress successfully, with particular emphasis on bodily symptoms produced when stress is transformed into chronic distress.

STAGE 1 AND 2 FOR COLLEAGUES

For people with no leadership responsibilities who need to understand the basic processes in leadership, team work, cooperative relationships, personal growth, managing stress and other topics that are summarised more substantially in the Courses for Leaders, 1,2 and 3.

THE EDUCATORS’ TUTORIAL

A program for people who wish to achieve the authority to lead Four Quadrant Leadership classes.
