Target group for the programme
MiL Campus Week is especially for middle managers or project managers and
those who lead others through change. Those who need to identify new opportunities
in situations fraught with reorganisation and uncertainty. At work you and
your colleagues need to look out for solutions that are off the beaten track.
You feel a need to access your courage, integrity, your ability to improvise,
your power of action orientation and empathy. Simply put: you need to access
your personal leadership.
Benefits
As a participant in the MiL Campus Week you increase your self-awareness, gain greater self-confidence, improve your ability to handle uncertainty and change. By greater insight into your own potential you formulate a vision for yourself with the aim of releasing your creativity and commitment.
You practise a coaching orientation that increases your competence which in its turn supports and inspires others. You achieve an increased understanding of how you influence others and the qualities you bring into your relationships as well as of the situations you take part in creating.
A network that grows during the MiL Campus Week can provide excellent support in your everyday life as a leader. In addition MiL Institute offers further leadership development in the form of individual coaching or other leadership programmes.

The Programme
MiL Campus Week consists of two distinct yet integrated parts. The first part
of the week is an organisation exercise held at a rapid tempo and with a high
degree of activity. The second part is a deepening process in a smaller group
where your personal leadership is in focus. As a participant you formulate
a learning focus for the MiL Campus Week. It takes the form of an openly stated
goal that you bring with you into the process.
Step 1: The Factory
"The Factory” is an organisation exercise where participants are challenged with starting, running and developing a business. The whole thing is under pressure from competitors, suppliers, customers and owners.
The Factory is based on a complex drama where the organisations are merged, new products are developed and the market responds to what is offered. In addition to deepening your understanding of, for instance, leadership and communication you also receive direct experience of how individuals from other company cultures tackle and solve problems.
Step 2: Personal Leadership
The second and lengthier part of the week is a four-day deepening of your personal leadership. This work takes place in smaller groups (10-14) with two coaches. You have your own learning focus and together with feedback on your behaviour during the organisation exercise you build a good base for deepening your understanding and insight into your personal leadership.
Action Reflection Learning is the working method during the week. This means that theory, training, tools, experiences, coaching and reflection are woven together to form the maximum learning environment for you.

Coaching leadership
You get better at coaching your colleagues, in other words releasing energy, new solutions and leadership.
Conflict management
The ability to act constructively in conflict situations and carry tough dialogues forward is increased.
Feedback
You increase your ability to give and receive feedback. On top of this you will get feedback from both the coaches and the other participants.
Reflection
You increase your ability to stop for a moment and elevate your thoughts at the same time as benefitting through reflection from your own and others’ experience. This leadership course will give you tools for how to use reflection in your everyday life, alone and during meetings, to augment the effect of what you do.
Balance in life and values base
During the week you will also work with how you can achieve a better balance in life, which apart from anything else means reflecting on your values base.
Increased energy and degree of effectiveness in your leadership
You increase awareness of your own patterns and of the type of reactions and behaviour that hold you back from achieving what you want. You will get tools and coaching for how you can work with these constructively to have more energy and be more influential in your leadership.
Tools for constructive meetings and discussions
The entire week is a training programme where you get a chance to try out different methods and tools. Many of these methods and exercises will be directly useful to you in your leadership.
Step 3: Follow-up
After six months we hold a one-day seminar for follow-up and further coaching. For those who want to take another step forward in their leadership we can offer the additional MiL Campus Week with ”Change and Resistance” as its theme.

Coaches.
MiL Campus Week is backed by 30 years’ experience of leadership development,
at the same time as being creative and containing laboratory elements. The
group responsible for evolving and running the MiL Campus Week has lengthy
experience of leadership and organisation development. Some have worked as
business leaders in industry, others have developed ground-breaking and experimental
forms for personal entrepreneurial development. They have lectured, written,
and developed ideas and methods for releasing human potential and personal
leadership. They are hand picked in order that their combined competence, experience
and enthusiasm create the most optimally interesting, creative and effective
leadership development week available in Sweden today.

Target group: Those who have completed the MiL Campus Week
‘Change and resistance’ focuses on the leader’s competence with handling change and resistance. We work with the mechanisms of change and resistance both from the perspective of those who initiate the change and those who are ‘victims’ of it. Change is more about dealing with dilemmas and polarities than solving problems. The context is the same we established during the MiL Campus Week, i.e. Action Reflection Learning. This means that theory, training, tools, experiences, coaching and reflection are inter-woven to achieve the maximum exchange and learning. We continue to work in the same groups as during the MiL Campus Week. Our knowledge of and trust in one another, which was established there, forms an excellent basis for getting value for the time invested.

Comments from former participants:
”It was easy to connect models and ways of thinking to my own, concrete daily life.”
”Gave me useful ideas that contributed to my understanding of my own reality, e.g. in the exercise about power in an organisation.”
”For me it was a very effective ploy getting to know a combination of old acquaintances with a number of new people.”
”Recurring weeks on the same theme are a good alternative for those of us who can’t participate in a lengthy programme.”
”I’ve had a lot of use from the discussions about resistance and even from the message to focus on what’s good.”
