This question is the starting place for Leader vs Leader. Using this deck of 64 historical leaders to facilitate conversations on leadership will give you plenty of material to work with.

 

By comparing two historical leaders to each other you encourage reflection and engagement.

 

One way to use Leader vs Leader in a group setting is to pair participants up and give each a Leader vs Leader card. The pairs engage in conversation about the traits, accomplishments and impact of each leader to determine who was the better leader of the two and why. You then bring everyone together to share the learning. Expect this to be a high energy activity with lots of learning.

 

If you are engaged in leadership development through facilitation, coaching, training or teaching, this would be a great tool for you.
