What Trainers are Saying about the 
Leadout Leadership Activity

“I've been using Leadout for over 20 years with clients from public agencies, corporations, and non-profit organizations. Workshop participants consistently give Leadout high marks: they say that it gives them insight into group dynamics and their own leadership style in a meaningful - and enjoyable - way. As a workshop facilitator, I appreciate the immensely useful Trainer’s Guide. I use Leadout primarily in leadership training, but have also used it in workshops on team building and managing conflict.”

“As a leadership development consultant and coach I do not know where I would be without Leadout! I use it many, many times in a year, and it is built into our 3-month leadership development programs for industries. From a facilitator point of view it is easy to use. I remember taking a deep breath many years ago when I ordered Leadout as a young consultant starting out, after having participated in a group where it was used. Nothing has paid more dividends for me than the money I spent that day. This is a simulation that is rich and deep. I would not be without it.

“This is without a doubt the best training activity I’ve seen in years.  Leadout gives participants insights into contemporary management theories and practice through challenge and involvement.  It’s the type of activity that makes trainers look good.”

“At the heart of the game’s beauty is a carefully constructed design that has no flab or unnecessary frills but rather elegant and simple aspects that open up for exploration of the complex dynamics of team interactions.  At the same time, the design permits flexibility in timing and size of group, and diversity in learning objectives.  I highly recommend Leadout to any trainer working with teams.”

“Having run over 100 sessions using Leadout, I have yet to have a participant who has not found Leadout to be one of the most compelling learning moments in their careers.  The lessons learned are transferred immediately to their jobs. It is said that experience is a tough teacher in that it gives you the test first and the lesson later.  This is the brilliance of Leadout. Leadout is a timeless tool that should be experienced by everyone who needs to work with other people.”
