Croatian Olympic Committee Hosts Final OCLP Leadership Workshop

The third and final block of Phase I of the OCLP Pilot was held in Zagreb. It focused on empowering participants to become the best leaders they could be and to plan their next career steps in the context of their NOC.

In this workshop, the importance and value of giving and receiving feedback were discussed. Participants came to understand that self-ratings and perceptions alone could not be considered 100% accurate predictors of leadership outcomes, and they gained a deeper appreciation of how they were perceived by their observers. In this context, they worked with the received DISC observer feedback and identified surprises as well as expected themes in the feedback, before noting any similarities or differences between them. Finally, participants completed an action plan that identified key areas for improvement based on their received DISC feedback.

The value of strengths-based leadership in practice was also discussed. Participants were given the opportunity to discover and reflect on their personal strengths and identify how to leverage their unique strengths effectively in their current roles. They discussed how they could better manage their energy, prioritize what mattered most, find their focus, and plan their actions moving forward.
