From their pre-work, they describe the three phases of leadership developmentDiagnose, Plan, and Executeand its two cycles: self-reflection and discussion. > Diagnose and Select: Participants make connections between whats happening in their organizations, the Leadership Imperatives critical for success, and the groups strengths and weaknesses in those Imperatives. They discuss the high payoff of aligning these variables. Learners use a planner to identify initiatives, development goals, and skills/knowledge they need to gain. > Targeting Development: The group discusses examples of three types of high-payoff development opportunitiestraining, job experience, and coaching.

They record these in their planners and identify needed support and measurement methods. > Improving Productivity: o Examining Priorities Learners discuss criteria for determining priorities and use a toll to evaluate and prioritize their current tasks. o Conquering Procrastination Learners discuss why people procrastinate and how this appears to others.
