Let Leadership FLOW
Flow Promoting Leadership (FPL) is an award-winning online Leadership Development Simulation, promoted in India by Prime Meridian. It is an online Leadership Simulation, Assessment and Blended Learning program. FLIGBY (FLOW is Good Business For You) is the official Flow-program for decision-makers by Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and ALEAS Simulations. FLIGBY’s leadership development program combines a video-game learning experience with sophisticated, benchmark-based competence assessment.
Professor Csikszentmihalyi is regarded as one of the greatest psychologists of this age. He earned his fame by defining and providing a detailed description of the Flow state. He has been seeking the answer to the great question of our everyday life: finding happiness.
“Work can be one of the most joyful, most fulfilling aspects of life. Whether it will be or not depends on the actions we actually collectively take”, says the Professor.
FLIGBY aims to successfully apply this concept to the organizations.
The Leadership Game
FLIGBY’s leadership development program combines video-game learning experience with sophisticated, benchmark-based competence assessment.
“FLIGBY” simulation informs and gives examples to managers/leaders how effectively to create an environment in which Flow can flourish. The purpose of this simulation is to teach the application of Flow-based leadership skills. The user or player, in this case, a leader, is measured for his/her 29 leadership skills. In the simulation, they are the GM of legacy business and must take everyday decisions to turn the business profitable and a great place to work for. A player will identify leadership skills that are critical for helping to generate and maintain FLOW within organizations. The challenge is to achieve a state of harmony and cooperation in a team significantly weakened by internal conflicts due to the dysfunctional leadership style of a previous GM. The leader is assessed on the following skills:
- Leading Change
- Leading People
- Result Driven
- Business Acumen
- Building Collations
By using a blended learning approach participant achieve the following learning objectives:
- Understanding Flow principles and the added value of Flow in business and corporate environment;
- Creating a blueprint for Flow in good business through the application of an inspiring vision, mission statement and attractive goals that are good both materially and spiritually;
- Understanding and learning visionary leader characteristics;
- Active participation in the Flow-based change management processes;
- Using leadership techniques to enhance Flow (successful management styles and techniques).
The Partnership
Prime Meridian has exclusively partnered with and brought FPL to India. “FLOW is Good Business™” (FLIGBY®) Leadership Development Simulation won the Gold Medal of the “International Serious Play Awards” in the category of Corporate Games in August 2012 in Seattle.
Evolving Leadership through FLOW
Prime Meridian believes that leadership today is more than running a large organization. In the new-age complex network society, leadership requires the provision of expertise, credibility, and trust. Leadership in this newer world means confident, value-based decision-making and acceptance of its consequences. The Flow process identifies the factors crucial to the operation of a successful but sustainable business: trust. It is committed to fostering the personal growth of employees, and the dedication to creating a product/service that helps mankind.
Prime Meridian is here to provide the Power of Flow in India. A Flow-based organization promotes employee engagement and positive attitudes in the workplace. The most important distinguishing trait of visionary leaders is that they believe in a goal that benefits not only themselves but others as well. Though FLIGBY’s intricately designed simulation game and workshops, leaders today are realizing the ultimate goal of a human being: Happiness.
