ATDRCCSLab
– Core Competency Exercise: Goal is for all participants to name all 8
competencies by the end of Cohort Meeting #10
ATDRCCSLab
is an acronym for the BL Leadership
Competencies. Ask each participant to take out
a piece of paper and write down the first letter
of the acronym, in a vertical manner down the
page. Give the group approximately 3-4 minutes
to match the core competencies with the first
letters. When time is up ask the group to name
the competences. (What does “A” stand for,
What does “T” stand for, etc.) When done,
poll the group as to who got at least 2, who
got 4, who got 6 and who got all eight. Tell the
participants that you will be doing this exercise
for the next several meetings.
7 Habits of Highly Effective People –There are three discs available for this
reading. In addition, MP3 files are available on the network. Participants should listen to
the book on their own time between meetings.
Homework assignment from Meeting # 6 was for the participants to have listened
to Introduction through Emotional Bank Account (Track 1-01 through Track 1-32;
approximately 60 minutes). These tracks covered the following:
• Introduction to the Seven Habits
• Paradigms and Principles
• Effectiveness
• Emotional Bank Account
Discussion Questions
• Talk about the difference between Personality (image, techniques, social
behaviors) and Character Ethics (integrity, humility, courage, justice, compassion,
services, principles). Ask group for examples of each.
• Discuss paradigms and individual perceptions. Review the experiment using
drawings of a younger and older woman.
• How difficult is it to achieve objectivity in life generally and in your own life? Does
your personal conditioning color your perspective?
