Through the Looking Glass
Purpose
Simulation revealing how leadership behaviour impacts organisational outcomes
How to Use
1. Participants are assigned roles as executives of a fictional company. 2. They receive in-trays of memos, reports, and problems to handle over a compressed time period (typically half a day). 3. Trained observers watch and take notes on leadership behaviours. 4. After the simulation, participants receive individual feedback from their observer and review the video or notes. 5. Debrief: decision-making style, communication effectiveness, priority setting, and how leadership behaviours landed with others.
