Behavioral Leadership Training: The European Person-Centered Approach
Integrating holistic disciplines and the scientific contributions of communication research
The Behavioral Leadership Program examines and applies management communication strategies to problems and issues of organizational leadership. The approach of Studio Trevisani is based on scientific research and integrates:
- communication research principles, as scientific grounding of the program
- verbal, non verbal and paralinguistic training
- bio-energetic training and mental training
- psychodrama and advanced role-playing techniques
Attention is given to communication skills that contribute to abilities to influence others, shape the motivation and the vision of groups in organizations. The focus of the training is on the competencies necessary to transform personal leadership style through the integration of management and interpersonal communication.
The learning model for the training program is based upon experiential learning theory (Trevisani, 2003). The approach combines rigorous conceptual knowledge with opportunities to practice and apply observable behaviors in micro-interactions involving leadership "on the field" in real and simulated situations.
