The Leadership Challenge

 

 
APAAC is honored to bring The Leadership Challenge back to Arizona. The Leadership Challenge is one of the most recognized leadership development programs in corporate America and across the world. It has been developed through over 30 years of research identifying what leaders do and what inspires people to follow them.  The APAAC program has been specifically designed to apply The Leadership Challenge principles to prosecution offices.
 
This program will be offered for in-person attendance only; no virtual attendance option will be available. Attendees must commit to the full two-day program, as each section builds on itself. The training is intended for anyone holding a leadership position – both prosecutors and non-attorney staff – regardless of job title. Below is information about the training curriculum, in addition to the required commitment: 
 
The Workshop
  • The program is centered around a 360° assessment. You, your colleagues, direct reports, and others you identify, evaluate your leadership behaviors prior to attending the workshop. The results of the 360° evaluation are used as the cornerstone for your leadership development.
  • The two-day Leadership Challenge allows you to assess your perceived activities and actions as compared to the practices of exemplary leadership. Through case studies, activities, and personal reflection, participants identify and commit to more effective leadership practices.
  • During this workshop, experiential activities will teach you to utilize The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership to develop the capabilities of your team members, identify options to better equip your colleagues to achieve better results, and the ability to craft individualized leadership development plans.
Commitment
  • Once you begin the 360° assessment, APAAC will be responsible for payment of the assessment, regardless of your completion or attendance. Once the assessment has begun, it is not possible to switch one participant for another.
  • Prior to attending the two-day workshop, you will receive instructions regarding items you need to complete. They are detailed below with estimated time requirements.  
360-Evaluation and Pre-Work
 
 
This evaluation is an assessment of your actions and behaviors as they relate to leadership characteristics and practices. In addition to completing a self-assessment, you will identify at least 10 to 15 people: your managers/supervisors, any people who directly report to you, coworkers and colleagues, judges, etc. You may also go outside your work contacts to community organizations, nonprofits, church or volunteer work. The more people you identify the better. 
 
  1. Identify at least 10 to 15 observers. We encourage you to identify more. The more data you have, the better your experience will be. You will want to begin this process immediately upon receiving your instructional email. That email will be sent approximately 4 weeks before the workshop. 
  2. Complete self 360-evaluation. 15 minutes
  3. Rank the Characteristics of an Admired Leader. 5 minutes
  4. Identify your Best Leadership Experience. 5 minutes
  5. Identify a current leadership challenge in your work or life. 5 minutes
