“What leadership model do we need to guide our organization through the transformational changes that will shape our company in the coming years?”
With this strategic question in mind, a leading global company integrated LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® into its Global Leadership Program, recognizing the need for an innovative and engaging approach to leadership development.
Facilitated in partnership with Quantasia, this two-day workshop brought together 48 executives from around the world, inviting them to reflect on and explore the traits, values, and leadership styles that define their Aspirational Leadership Model.
Aspiration vs. Vision: The difference that matters
While “vision” is often associated with a futuristic ideal state, aspiration is more grounded and achievable:
- Aspiration comes from within—it is shaped by the people involved, rather than dictated by external advisors.
- It is not just a distant future state but a reflection of who leaders are today and what they can become when maximizing their potential.
Starting with an in-depth analysis of their current leadership model, participants explored what they could aspire to become, pushing their capabilities and engagement to the highest level.
Through a structured process, each team extracted the most relevant elements from their individual models to build a shared leadership identity, ensuring every participant felt represented in a unique, collective vision.
From Insight to Action
At the end of the session, participants reflected on their experience, inspired by their collective work and the three-dimensional models they had created. This process helped them transform insights into tangible leadership actions that could be immediately applied in their roles.
