This Book Explores the Dynamics of a Company off-Site and Addresses the Fears and Concerns Participants May Have.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89782) has announced the addition of "The Offsite: A Leadership Challenge Fable" to their offering.

Drawing on the leadership theories in the management classic The Leadership Challenge, Robert Thompson effortlessly incorporates these ideas into a fable of leadership and growth. Based on a company's three-day offsite meeting, we follow this tale of transition through the eyes of two former rival pharmaceutical companies creating a joint sales strategy. The characters ultimately learn how to adopt the five practises that form the Leadership Challenge:

* Model the Way

* Inspire a Shared Vision

* Challenge the Process

* Enable Others to Act

* Encourage the Heart

The book also explores the dynamics of a company off-site and addresses the fears and concerns participants may have especially around 360 degree feedback, the key component of the Leadership Challenge model and workshops.

For anyone preparing to attend a leadership training off-site, human resource professionals or trainers planning an offsite, leadership developers, program planners, or for professionals looking to hone their leadership skills, this book will be an invaluable resource and a succinct introduction to The Leadership Challenge.
