Leading Teams That Deliver

Fundamentals of Leadership

Simulation Overview

This simulation helps learners practice the essential skills of effective team leadership—aligning purpose, setting goals, delegating meaningfully, and building trust to drive performance.


Grounded in research from Harvard Business Publishing on leadership best practices, the simulation emphasizes how leaders can create clarity, psychological safety, and engagement to help their teams thrive. Learners explore how to shift from “doing” to “leading”, manage competing priorities, and foster an environment where collaboration and purpose fuel productivity and innovation.


The learners can complete the simulation asynchronously at their convenience. A facilitator's debrief of the results and key lessons is optional.
