THREE OF SEVENPROJECT02 / Leadership / ORIGINAL SELF-PACED PROGRAM
Help a small group move forward with clearer expectations, better questions, and useful follow-through.
WHO IT IS FOR
New team leads, volunteers, project organizers, and people who take responsibility without a formal leadership title.
WHAT YOU WILL PRACTICE
WHAT YOU WILL BUILD
Complete or clearly simulate a bounded shared project. Assemble a concise portfolio showing how you clarified work, heard another perspective, coordinated responsibility, made decisions, handed off work, and reviewed the result. A real collaborator participates only by agreement.
Each includes blank prompts and a completed example.
A revised project brief with purpose, definition of done, owner, dependencies, and checkpoint.
A conversation record showing an assumption, checked understanding, and next action.
Corrective and appreciative feedback drafts with specific observations and effects.
A review identifying a closed action, a practice to keep, and an improvement to test.
A delegation agreement covering authority, resources, capacity, and checkpoints.
A fair decision note with options, criteria, authority, tradeoff, and review trigger.
A tested handoff package with access, current state, recipient action, and acceptance.
A complete real or clearly labeled simulated project portfolio and evidence-based review.
Study at your own pace. The week labels are a suggested schedule, not live appointments.
YOUR COMPLETE CURRICULUM
8 complete text lessons, each with a worked example, practical exercises, reflection prompts and an assessment. Open each module to explore its focus.
Make the group's purpose and immediate objective understandable before distributing work.
Course exercise: Write a four-sentence brief: why this matters, what success looks like, who owns the next step, and when the group checks back.
Practice questions that reveal uncertainty, different interpretations, and missing information.
Course exercise: Prepare three open questions for a real conversation. Summarize the other person's answer and ask whether you understood it correctly.
Describe a specific observation, explain its impact, and invite a practical adjustment.
Course exercise: Turn a vague criticism into an observation, an impact statement, and a question about the next attempt.
Review outcomes without losing the decisions that should change the next round of work.
Course exercise: Hold or simulate a ten-minute review. Finish with one change, one owner, and one check-in point.
Assign a useful outcome with enough context, authority, resources, and checkpoints for another person to act.
Course exercise: Choose a bounded outcome and state why it matters and what done looks like.
Clarify differences, compare options fairly, and record a decision without pretending everyone has the same view.
Course exercise: State the decision question and identify whether the difference concerns facts, priorities, methods, or authority.
Make transferred work usable by identifying its current state, recipient, remaining decisions, and acceptance conditions.
Course exercise: Map two points where one person’s work enables another person’s next action.
Apply the program to one bounded project and explain how your leadership choices affected clarity, coordination, and learning.
Course exercise: Choose a bounded real or simulated project and confirm its purpose, definition of done, roles, and checkpoint.
A group can agree that a project matters and still disagree about what happens next. One person may think the task is to collect ideas; another may believe a decision has already been made. Before asking for more effort, make the work visible. Explain the purpose, the immediate result you need, and the person responsible for the next step. Invite people to describe the plan in their own words. Different answers show where the brief needs attention; they do not automatically show a lack of commitment.
A clear brief also names what is undecided. You might know the objective but still need a cost estimate or another person's approval. Say so. Then identify who will gather the missing information and when the group will revisit it. Leadership does not require pretending every uncertainty has been resolved. It requires helping others understand the current decision, the limits of that decision, and the next point at which the plan can change. After the conversation, put the agreed next step somewhere the group can find it. A brief written record reduces the work of remembering and prevents private interpretations from quietly replacing the shared plan. Keep it short enough that people will actually use it.
YOUR TURN
Write a brief for a current shared task. Ask someone to restate the next step, then revise any sentence that caused confusion.
BEFORE YOUR NEXT STEP
Your program includes 8 text lessons, worked examples, exercises, self-assessments, three reusable templates, a study plan, a final project and a complete downloadable workbook. A free introductory lesson and worksheet are available above.
A phone, tablet or computer with a browser, internet access to open lessons, and somewhere to write. No previous course is required. Download the workbook after access is granted to keep an offline copy.
Choose your preferred start month and submit your details. This is a self-paced course, not a scheduled live session. The team confirms the final total, payment method and access terms before payment, then issues a private access code.
This is original self-guided reading material created for this website. It is not Chadd-authored instruction and does not include live coaching, video lessons or certification.
YOUR LESSONS / YOUR PACE
After payment is confirmed, the team supplies a private access code. Enter it below to read all 8 lessons, complete the activities and download the full workbook.
The program contains 8 full written modules, worked examples, practical exercises, reflection questions, two self-check questions per module, three reusable templates with completed examples, a weekly plan, and a capstone with an evidence rubric. The complete workbook includes the teaching and activities.
Use one module per week for 8 weeks, completing its deliverable before moving on. You may move more slowly, repeat an exercise, or use a clearly labeled simulation where a real situation is unavailable. The weekly structure is a study guide, not scheduled live instruction.
This is an original text-based, self-guided program. It does not include live sessions, coaching, instructor assessment, video lessons, or certification. It is not presented as teaching authored or delivered by Chadd Wright.
No. Keep workbook responses private, use fictional names or a simulated situation when useful, and involve other people only by agreement. The self-check answers and capstone rubric support your own review; there is no requirement to submit sensitive records.
You will have a practical portfolio of the course outputs and a next-step plan. Use the rubric to check whether the evidence supports your decisions. Completion does not guarantee a personal, team, professional, or financial result and does not confer a qualification.
