UGL in English

If you work in a global organization with Scandinavian roots, you might have come across the concept of UGL. UGL is the most renowned leadership training program in Scandinavia, established in 1981 by the Swedish Armed Forces. Today many major Swedish organizations rely on UGL training as a part of their HR developmental program.

Target audience

Managers and employees at all levels within the organization, who want to develop as persons, co-workers and leaders.

Course objectives

The objective of the course is to enhance participants’ abilities to:

• work with reflection and learning both individually and as part of a group,
• understand and deal with conflicts,
• communicate directly and clearly,
• understand the effects of feelings on individuals and at a group level,
• give and take effective feedback,
• understand how values affect relationships and leadership,
• identify different stages in the development of a group, understand your own attitude related to that understanding, and that different leadership styles are needed.

Working methods and content

The pedagogical approach of the UGL course is based on “Experiential Learning”, which means that UGL allows the participants themselves to experience situations that reflect group dynamics and to understand their own roles in this group environment.

The course format is an intense five-day residential course (Monday-Friday). UGL starts Mondays at 10.30 a.m. and ends Fridays at 3.00 p.m. UGL is a demanding course and we assume that all participants are in psychological balance and willing to put in the efforts that the course requires.

The number of participants is limited to 12, with two facilitators.

The courses are held at Lejondals slott, ca 45 minutes from Stockholm: https://lejondalsslott.se/ or at Villa Lovik at Lidingö, ca 20 minutes from Stockholm city: https://www.lovik.se/.
