FROM MANAGEMENT TO
LEADERSHIP
Why use the know-how of Gravitas Leadership?
Gravitas Leadership answers two key questions for the directors and managers:
getting to know each other better means understanding the environment in which we operate better and contributing to better business performance.
Gravitas Leadership proposes Experiential Learning, a more innovative and powerful learning tool than Team Building, because it is adapted to the world of business and business schools seeking to develop the leadership of their members.
This educational approach, through debriefing and reflection on the experience gained from our exercises, allows trainees to develop new strategic and human skills, thoughts and attitudes. This concept is a powerful tool to reveal behaviours that makes it possible to identify good practices in teams and to propose a reflection on personal and professional development. Our learning workshops encourage people to take a step back and give its full value to management techniques to improve leadership.
WHY THE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING HAS A BIGGER IMPACT THAN TRADITIONAL LEARNING

Studies have shown that the human being is able to remember 90% of what he does against 20% of what they see and 10% of what he reads.
How does Gravitas Leadership know-how materialise?
The trainees, outside of their work environment and in the open air, are confronted with problem-solving exercises with the use of neutral objects (boards, ropes, bars, buckets, balls, bottle cases, etc.). All trainees are on an equal footing, regardless of age, culture or education. We also use above-ground exercises that are not physical activities but collective exercises to reveal the potential of a team through cohesion, trust and cooperation. The debriefing session offers the opportunity to review the behaviours observed during the exercise , it is a great platform for analysis and reflection. The exercises will hold a mirror to what happens daily at work. The use of video is a powerful way for the group and the individual to review and understand their behaviours.
These tools all have one thing in common: problem-solving with little physical activity. They are installed outdoors and integrate 3 factors: a strategy and planning phase, an execution phase and above all a debriefing phase.

The debriefing session is led by a certified coach, which is fundamental to understanding what worked, what didn’t work, and freeing speech in a caring atmosphere. The acquisition of new common points of reference, the revelation of complementary individual qualities and the achievement of collective goals boosts the understanding of oneself and others.
Trainees quickly become aware of their actions and generate optimal solutions. They can then immediately translate and replicate their learning in a professional context to help improve their performance within the company.
We have developed over 50 different exercises. They were developed especially for the business world with the help of psychology professors. They address specific topics such as communication, active listening, coordination, cooperation, resilience, ambition, complementarity, stress management, agility in change, etc.
Experiential Learning is a complete method consisting of 5 distinct phases. But it can be modulated according to the strategic requirements of the company.
