The Strategic Leadership Game

The Strategic Leadership Game uses entertaining Tangram puzzles to bring home the importance of how you manage task performance. It highlights learning points having to do with both dimensions of the classic managerial leadership grid: structure and support.

Game A: Work Orders, simulates a normal or typical task assignment in many workplaces. Participants are delegated a task with clear output criteria, but without any useful performance support or structure.

Game B: Coaching Cards also simulates routine assignments, but participants are placed in pairs, one as manager and one as employee, and manager’s are responsible for supporting the employee’s efforts.
