Bridgingpositions insieme al nostro cliente e partner Axis Pension Trust Ltd. ha tenuto il primo Self Leadership Backbone in Africa occidentale. L'SLB si è svolto ad Accra in Ghana e ha ospitato 30 partecipanti dal Ghana con diversi background.
Ciò che ha reso particolarmente interessante per noi tenere il programma SLB qui è stato il fatto che lo abbiamo organizzato per scoprire dai nostri partecipanti se il programma ha avuto un effetto positivo su come si sentivano responsabili e responsabili del loro contesto, delle loro comunità e per il Ghana nel suo insieme.
I feedback e le risposte che abbiamo ricevuto sono molto incoraggianti. Sì, passare attraverso il programma SLB ha creato una forte consapevolezza e senso di responsabilità tra i partecipanti, su ciò che ognuno può contribuire a beneficio di un contesto più ampio.
Vedere, sentire e ascoltare come tutti si sono immersi completamente nel processo SLB, ha dato una straordinaria sensazione di benedizione e onore per essere in grado di sostenere e facilitare questo programma in Ghana.
Un ringraziamento speciale ad Afriyie Oware, amministratore delegato di Axis Pension Trust, che senza una grande conoscenza delle posizioni ponte o del programma Self Leadership Backbone ha investito tempo e risorse per rendere possibile lo svolgimento di questo programma ad Accra, in Ghana.

Leading our self is the central prerequisite for leading others. It is knowing our self, building up our focus and developing personal mastery which is the base for effective and successful leadership.

“No leader sets out to be a leader. People set out to lead their lives, expressing themselves fully. When that expression is of value, they become leaders.”
Warren Bennis

Why this name, Spina dorsale della leadership personale?

Self

The program is designed and focuses on you as an individual, on the leader in you. In the words of Warren Bennis:
“Leaders have nothing but themselves to work with… we are our own raw material. Only when we know what we’re made of and what we want to make of it can we begin our lives and we must do it despite an unwitting conspiracy of people and events against us. To become a leader, then, you must become yourself; become the maker of your own life. Know thyself, then, means separating who you are and who you want to be from what the world thinks you are and wants you to be. Until you make your life your own, you’re walking around in borrowed clothes.”
It all starts with you and you alone.

Leadership

Everyone has the potential to be a leader and to make a difference in life. The question is not “Are you a leader?” the question is “How much of your leadership potential are you currently living?” and “What kind of leader do you want to become?”
In this program, you work on strengthening your integrity and authenticity, giving yourself direction, taking ownership and responsibility for your life and making a difference: “What is it that I can bring, give to the world?” “Where do I best use my gifts and time?”

Backbone

It is the central element of the skeleton. It is the central point from which every major movement of the body originates. A robust and developed backbone is the base for an elegant impact. The elements (vertebras) of a healthy Leadership Backbone are steps to clarify and connect to our own qualities, purpose, values and set a meaningful and mindful direction in life.

What does the Spina dorsale della leadership personale program take us through?

To become the best version of ourselves, we have to seriously invest in learning about our self. This program guides participants step by step through a personal inquiry journey; it is an exploration endeavor.
You will take the time to understand your purpose and vision for the world. “What contribution will you make in this world?”

“You can’t be a leader if you don’t have a definite purpose guiding you through the dark times. Purpose is like a light at the end of a tunnel; a hope that keeps us going.”
Sandeep Kashyap

• You will discover your unique gifts and talents and learn about where and how to express them.
• You will work on your core values that will guide you in your authentic actions and decision-making.
• You will make your math’s concerning: What is the price you need to pay to bring your purpose, values, and ambition to life?

What are the basic elements forming our Self Leadership Backbone?

• History: Where do we come from?
• Facts: What are our strengths and weaknesses?
• Brand: What do we stand for?
• Purpose: Why are we here? What is it we and only we can bring to this world?
• Values: What are our constituent values? What values do we need to live to bring our purpose to life?
• Ambition: Where do we want to go? What is it we want to bring to life?
• Limiting Believes: How do we hinder ourselves to fully live our purpose, values, and ambition?
• Pathway: How do we bring the next chapter of our life forth?

Leadership is not something we are born with, it has to be cultivated. Leaders grow and develop. It is about connecting our deeper purpose, our unique strengths and talents with a passion and then create the right focus to make an impact in the world.

Who should attend a Programma Backbone di Self Leadership?

Anybody who wishes to develop personal focus, direction and clarity in life in order to live his or her full potential. People taking or wanting to take responsibility for themselves and or other persons especially benefit from the Self Leadership Backbone process. For this journey, a mindset of being open, curious and courageous about what you will encounter is needed.

What is the Spina dorsale della leadership personale program?

It is personal quality time of profound contemplation and self-revelation on what is of true importance and deep value to you in your life.
The Self Leadership Backbone process lives from the individual going on a deep discovery journey into him or herself. To uncover, discover what is of true meaning to her/him. Accomplishing this insight and clarity about yourself, you become able to align and direct your life in line with what is truly important for you, the starting point for a meaningful and fulfilled life.

Bridgingpositions insieme al nostro cliente e partner Axis Pension Trust Ltd. ha tenuto il primo Self Leadership Backbone in Africa occidentale.

Quando Axis Pensions portò la spina dorsale dell'autogestione in Ghana

Di Zadok Kwame Gyesi 

“EVERYTHING rises and falls on leadership” is one of the profound quotes by international motivational speaker and leadership coach, Mr. John C. Maxwell, that speaks to the importance that leaders play in the success or otherwise of their organisations. As heads of their organisations, departments or units, leaders determine the direction of their followers and those directions equally determine the health of the entire organisation. Thus, when leaders fail, the organisation suffers and fails in the long run. This is succinctly captured in the proverb "the fish rots from the head." Conscious of this and more, many organisations have prioritised capacity building as one surest ways to develop capable and optimally functioning human resources that can lead others to create the value required of the firm, but not all those training programmes pass the test of quality and not all organisations have the ability to detect those that meet their organisational goals.

Spina dorsale della leadership 

Il principale fornitore di servizi pensionistici, Axis Pension Trust Ltd (APTL), non è uno di loro. L'azienda ha recentemente introdotto nel paese BridgingPositions, un'organizzazione con sede in Germania specializzata nella formazione di manager, leader e team esecutivi nelle capacità di leadership per aiutare a stimolare le capacità del suo personale e delle parti interessate per ottenere risultati ottimali. Con BridgingPositions è arrivato il seminario di Self Leadership Backbone acclamato in tutto il mondo, un'iniziativa che si è distinta tra i programmi della concorrenza. Era la prima volta che si tenne quel seminario Ovest-Africa and for that matter, Ghana, to help nurture the caliber of leaders needed to help transform the country's economy. The Self Leadership Backbone is designed to help participants deepen their personal and social awareness while fostering effective self-leadership skills, inner resourcefulness and professional best practices. The three-day leadership training, organised by the Axis Pension, was facilitated by BridgingPositions. Topics treated included 'initiating development,' the rhythm of our life; where do I come from? 'what can you learn about yourself from your life timeline; 'what can I give to the world; `how do I do what I do,' where am I going; 'what holds back me from pursuing my purpose, values and ambition; `personal force field analysis," "how do I get there,' `integration into life,' and 'What represents my journey.'

Bussola morale 

The Seminar Facilitator, Mr. Julian Geuder, said the training engaged participants in an in-depth self-reflection on how to be authentic leaders and how to lead with purpose. He added that through intensive practice, participants developed a moral inner compass that allowed them to make the appropriate decisions in the midst of complex challenges. According to him, effective leaders had an intimate understanding of themselves and were aware of their own inner strengths,values, purpose and direction. "Leaders who consciously cultivate self-awareness and personal mastery tend to be far more effective when facing organisational challenges, uncertainty, transitions, and even new opportunities," he explained.

Primo in Ghana 

Julian Geuder, consulente e coach, specialista nella progettazione, sviluppo e facilitazione dei processi di cambiamento, ha spiegato che i leader dovrebbero conoscere se stessi bene per consentire loro di guidare gli altri. Secondo lui, il Ghana è stato il primo paese in Ovest-Africa, dove il programma era stato organizzato e ha espresso la speranza che la formazione avrebbe aiutato i partecipanti a prendere decisioni informate in qualunque cosa facessero. Ha espresso la preoccupazione che molte persone non fossero in grado di fare certe cose nella vita a causa di credenze di lunga data o cose che avrebbero potuto sentire durante la loro infanzia o durante la crescita. Ha spiegato che le persone dovevano eliminare tali convinzioni limitanti poiché potevano impedire a molte persone di realizzare i propri obiettivi nella vita.

Essenza del seminario 

The Chief Executive Officer of Axis Pension Trust, Mr. Afriyie Oware, said the seminar was organised by the company as part of its drive to help contribute to the development of the country's human resource. He explained that as a company with a mission to contribute to the socio-economic development of Ghana by promoting a culture of savings and creating retirement wealth for workers, training people in leadership skills would help them to become captains of their own ships. He said the training was a beginning of "how we can shape ourselves individually", noting that the company would soon organise another training in other areas. Mr Afriyie, therefore, implored the participants to make good use of the knowledge acquired at the training by influencing others in their respective fields. He also commended the facilitators for their dedication, pledging that Axis Pensions would continue to work with them. Some of the participants expressed their happiness about the training, pointing out that the training had helped them to discover many of their unknown potentials. For Ernest Elorm Attimah, Boni Solomon, Eric Tenkorang, and Esther Larweh, all participants, the Self Leadership Backbone training was necessary for everyone irrespective of what they were into. They, therefore, expressed the hope that the training would be organised for the benefit of many Ghanaians.
