What should be the focus of a leadership retreat.
There are some arguably intelligent qualities of a good leader. One is to have an array of complex leadership qualities. There are qualities that are considered universal to some degree or that all people should hope to obtain or be able to intuit. There are also qualities that depend on the context, for example qualities that are useful in one type of organizational culture would not be useful in another organizational culture. A good leader has qualities about their personality that embody the type of culture that they are in.
Purpose of Leadership Retreat:
A leadership retreat is meant to better equip leaders to be the best they can be. A leader should be able to balance interdependent with autonomy according to the needs of the organization. A leadership retreat is paid long-term investment. The retreat forces the leader to take time off of work and they work on things that may require reflection or focus that is not available in their daily life. This is beneficial because the leader can gain perspective and hope to change habits of a lifetime. Leaders may be resistant to a leadership retreat because there is a degree of feelings of denying a creeping need for a break.
It is generally recognized that a good leader has qualities of being a productive, collaborative, and credible colleague. It would be difficult to have a good team of subordinates without good leaders in charge or to have to not be recognized or trusted by others. Being an authoritative figure in the workplace however is usually difficult. One way to avoid this difficulty would be to trust others to make decisions by giving them more autonomy. As leaders begin to hand off duties it allows other leaders to practice skills related to management. Some people are more conscientious than others, but in competencies exist within the group, foremost being the leader relinquishing power, the group becomes more collaborative.
Leadership retreats are there to give leading competencies to group members that have proven their ability to tolerate the workload. One would have to be able to delegate work to other leaders in order for them to grow into the competent leader. The retreat gives leaders the time to better analyse their personality traits, environment, relationships, or what makes them happy. The leadership retreat is used to tune the balance in work life balance, which are necessary for any life to be stable.
Conclusion: Ultimately the point is to allow team members to work with one another in an effective manner.
