Twelve O'Clock High (TOCH)
An Intensive Experience in the Process of Change.
Developed for The Center for Leadership Studies, Inc. by Dr. Paul Hersey.
An Advanced Workshop in Situational Leadership®
Twelve O'Clock High (TOCH) is based on Twentieth Century-Fox's classic, award winning film Twelve O'Clock High ® , starring Gregory Peck, and is designed to allow participants an opportunity to apply Situational Leadership® through a very powerful case study. This course has been revised and enhanced to enable the attendees to translate the behavioural sciences, principles and concepts into effective action. During this one-day training experience, the participants diagnose the various leadership styles and evaluate the performance of six characters in the film and diagnose group readiness levels during four different time frames. These decisions are made individually and then in teams. Participants then process their individual and team decisions to determine the extent to which synergy was achieved.
This is a great way to review and reinforce the skills and behaviours the participants learned during Situational Leadership®. The film provides a significant opportunity to learn more about leadership, motivation, performance and readiness levels. It can either be conducted on the third day of Situational Leadership® or, many organisations use it as a follow up, three to six months after the initial workshop. Participants must have attended a Situational Leadership® programme prior to participation in TOCH
