Modules
The Core Training consists of three Modules –
- Module 1 – LEMON Leadership Basics
- Module 2 – Healthy Roots for leadership
- Module 3 – Understanding, managing and resolving conflict
- Module 4 – LEMON Leadership Advanced
Module 4 is normally incorporated into Modules 2 and 3, but can also be run as a separate module
The focus of the training is to impart knowledge or understanding. Training is the spine that the coaching and consulting are built around. All the other elements fit around training.
Timeframe
The are 18 sessions in the 3 Modules. The aim is to complete these sessions as quickly as possible. They can be done once a day over 6 days, or one session each week, or every 2 weeks.
My preference would be to do Sessions 1 & 2 of Module 1 together in a 2-hour session.

Here is the training in more detail –
Module 1 – LEMON Leadership
LEMON Leadership is not a “How to” of leadership, but “Who are you?” It looks at leadership in a fresh way. Our belief is that it is more important in the long run to know who you are than what to do. A good leader understands and leads out of their identity. It doesn’t matter what your style, academic background or ethnicity may be. The key is to know what type of leader you are.
This module is based on Brett Johnson’s book, LEMON Leadership, where he writes about five types of leaders:
LEMON Leadership consists of the following –
- A 2-hour online Introduction to LEMON workshop for the group.
- An Assessment for each person.
- A LEMON Leadership book.
- 7 online tests or Refreshers designed to test each person’s knowledge and help retain what they have learned.
- A 30-minute one-on-one feedback session with each person.
- 4 1-hour online workshops for the group that look at communication.
Module 2 – Healthy Roots
I use the analogy of a tree for leadership.
The part of the tree that is visible is above ground. The part of a leader that is visible is what we call their leadership style. Leadership style is the strategic choice a leader makes about how to behave in the situation they find themselves in.
If you want to be a healthy tree, you need to have healthy roots. Healthy roots include:
- Knowing the key drivers of your behaviour – Values
- Knowing if you are an introvert or extrovert, and how that impacts you.
- Your emotional intelligence.
- Understanding how you are wired, or your LEMON Type.
- Your learned behaviour.
All this impacts your fruit, which is your management style. What makes this training unique is our understanding of how this all fits together.
The Module consists of –
- A VIEW Assessment
- 6 hours of Online interactive workshops
- Tests
- Exercises
While the team is going through the modules I coach the team leader.
Module 3 – Communication and conflict
This module consists of 6 x 1-hour online workshops where we take an in-depth look at relationships, communication, and conflict. The focus is on getting the team to work together while I coach the leader. All Lessons are online and are 1 hour, and look at …
Lesson 1 – Relationship types
The different types of relationships we are involved in and the expectations that come with them, as well as how to manage them.
Lesson 2 – Understanding Conflict
The complexity of conflict and the key things we need to be aware of and manage in the process.
Lesson 3 – Managing Conflict
Elements of conflict that need to be managed. The impact that values have on conflict, and how to manage them.
Lesson 4 – Tendencies
The fact that because of how we are wired, we tend to react to and approach conflict differently.
Lesson 5 – Underlying causes of Conflict
The issue is never the issue
The underlying causes of conflict in relationships. It gets to the roots, which sorts out the fruits.
Lesson 6 – Letting go – Resolving Conflict
How conflict is a trigger for change, and how to approach and manage the change.
