UNDERSTANDING GROUP AND LEADERSHIP

 
 

A five-day course on how to become more effective as a group member and leader.

UGL is the most renowned leadership training program in Scandinavia, established in 1981 by the Swedish Armed Forces.

In the UGL program, participants will through their own experience learn about group dynamics and understand their own roles in a working group environment. The course is centered around feedback, understanding conflict, values, group development and different leadership styles.

UGL deals with how a group develops and matures, what happens in the group during the course of development and what promotes or hinders positive development. This is what is known as group dynamics. The course also deals with the opportunities and problems of leadership in relation to development of the group’s maturity.

The overall aim of the course is to make participants more effective as leaders and/or as members of a working group. Through experienced based learning and reflections, a greater understanding is reached for how group development is affected by leadership and behaviors, needs, or emotions of group members.

What you will learn

  • Increase your effectiveness as a leader and your self-awareness

  • Group dynamics and development

  • Conflict resolution, feed-back and effective communication
