Leader Forge Game: Forge Your Leadership Identity

Context

Senior leadership teams face significant challenges that threaten their cohesion and effectiveness. High turnover disrupts continuity and creates knowledge gaps, while balancing strategic initiatives with daily operations leads to burnout and decision fatigue. Limited resources further exacerbate these pressures, resulting in inefficiencies, reduced trust, and diminished morale. Often, leaders are so focused on external challenges that they neglect internal team-building and self-reflection, leaving their collective potential untapped.
