The Acacia Group experience ranges from the board room to the barrio, from the digging of a new well and back to the water cooler. In order to determine the linkages between personal performance and alignment with corporate goals we will meet with key players in your organization and conduct an on-site assessment. Then using this information as a lever for change, we will accompany your leaders to a community in need, where they can experience new challenges, where they can contribute and where they can grow. Following this, we will follow up with a period of coaching and applying lessons learnt to their performance back home.
The elements of good leadership can be seen in these communities, the leaders have an “abundance of hope” and an ability to dream big, they may also experience gratitude for all they have despite what others may see as hardship...encounters with these leaders can allow participants to “look humanity in the face” and to become increasingly able to share, and to lead.
