An exercise to promote lively interaction and valuable discussion to introduce the basics of good leadership at the start of any leadership programme - fantastic value.
You have information on six candidates: photo, name, age, occupation and two personality profiles. One profile is supplied by the candidate and one by a close friend or relative. All details are real, though names are changed.
Rank the six candidates according to who is best suited to lead you in the strange situation you find yourselves in: survivors of a shipwreck - thrown together in a lifeboat.
Focuses on personal and professional attributes we look for in a leader, how we assess potential leaders in the recruitment process and highlights the point that in a different situation the ranking could be very different. A source of lively debate and thought-provoking questions about what makes good leadership.

Philip Swinard, Thomas InternationalUsed in leadership workshop training, Lifeboat Leader is useful in demonstrating different leadership styles and the value of modifying to utilise all abilities within a team to achieve a common goal. Very stimulating, and it encourages interactive communication and team negotiation. This exercise works because it is simple and only takes one hour.
