Testing tools in our teams together
We're building a community of managers and leaders across our partners' teams, open to experimenting with new tools and techniques towards enabling others. It's rooted in data, on your own terms and we'd love to have you involved.
LeaderLab: Opting in for instant impact
YCN Director Nick shares some insights into the LeaderLab
Join the LeaderLab
What you'll experience
You'll onboard through a simple tool inviting you to reflect and benchmark your current confidence and capability around key behaviours. And we'll invite you to nominate some colleagues, to also share their perspective. We'll then share some personalised insights with you — offering a motivating picture of your current effectiveness; highlighting your strengths in action and helping you to prioritise development areas.
Digital and tactile physical tools — linked to high impact behaviours of effective modern managers and leaders — are shared with you directly over time. Each immediately helps you to practice these key behaviours, from contracting conversations and curious questions to connected language and active feedback, at your own pace and in the flow of work. Bitesize videos of the tools and techniques being modelled will help you to test, learn, and the experience quick wins.
Alongside peers in the LeaderLab community, you'll be invited to short virtual workshops and coaching groups where you can collaboratively reflect on your experimentation, dig into tools more deeply and share experiences and impact with each other. These sessions are inclusively led by YCN coaches and facilitators, often inviting other subject experts into the mix.
