Leadership Retreat to Inspire Your Team

Engaging Leaders To Expand Success

Three women planning a leadership retreat

Leadership retreats stand out as one of the most critical types of meetings we support. When an organization gathers its senior leadership, every minute matters. When the retreat is carefully planned and executed, the team can see an immense impact on the company culture and success. Your goal should be to:

  • Capture executives’ combined knowledge

  • Align them around shared goals

  • Develop solutions to issues

  • Introduce and shape business strategies

Challenges Involved in Leadership Retreat Planning

Start your planning initiative by asking two critical questions:

  • What is the retreat’s purpose?

  • What are the desired outcomes for participants?

Your answers will influence the retreat’s format — impacting everything from retreat locations to content and activities. Your event must be coherent, focused, and integrated with purposeful planning for leadership development.

After setting the stage, the next most important factor is engagement. How do you want your participants to engage with each other and the content before, during, and after the retreat? If you involve the attendees with pre-meeting reading materials, a webcast, and a survey, you’ll know more about their expectations. Give them every opportunity to contribute more thoughtfully at the retreat.
