This workshop explores the third practice of exemplary leadership: Challenge the Process. This principle is based on the idea that great leaders are pioneers. They actively seek opportunities to innovate, grow, and improve. They are willing to take risks, experiment, and learn from mistakes. This practice is about stepping outside the status quo and encouraging others to do the same.
Key Practices
- Search for Opportunities
- Leaders constantly look for ways to improve products, processes, and systems.
- They stay curious, ask questions, and listen to feedback from customers, employees, and stakeholders.
- They anticipate change and adapt proactively.
- Experiment and Take Risks
- Leaders try new approaches, even if success isn’t guaranteed.
- They view failure as a learning opportunity, not a definitive setback.
- They create a culture where experimentation is encouraged and safe.
Leaders don’t wait for permission to innovate—they take initiative.
Why It Matters
- Innovation and growth can’t happen without challenge.
- Teams become more resilient and adaptable when encouraged to experiment.
- Challenging the process leads to breakthroughs, not just incremental improvements.
This workshop can also be combined with others to explore the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. The goal of the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership is to help leaders become more effective by adopting concrete and repeatable behaviors.
