Examples of Blue Belt Level Training Activities

The Blue Belter Program is designed to build on the skills and knowledge acquired in the White and Yellow Belter programs. The program duration varies from 2 to 6 months, depending on the learner's skills and the pace at which they progress.

The Blue Belter Program aims to equip participants with the skills to deploy their informal authority beyond the boundaries of their formal job descriptions. Participants learn how to develop their negotiation skills, boundary-spanning leadership skills, and the ability to work effectively with superiors, peers, and subordinates.

The program consists of several components, including:

1. Negotiation skills: Participants learn how to develop their negotiation skills, including how to prepare for negotiations, build relationships, identify and evaluate options, and reach agreements that meet the interests of all parties.

2. Boundary-spanning leadership: Participants learn how to work effectively across boundaries, including geographical, cultural, and organizational boundaries. They learn how to build bridges between different groups, manage diverse perspectives, and create shared goals and objectives. At the Red Belter level, learners are expected to practice leading through transnational platforms, and the Blue Belt level skills begin to equip them for transnational leadership.  

3. Leading upwards: Participants learn how to navigate the complex dynamics of working with superiors and authorities in other organizations, including how to manage upward relationships, build trust, communicate effectively, and influence decisions.

4. Leading across: Participants learn how to deploy their informal authority beyond the boundaries of their formal job descriptions. They learn how to lead from the middle, build alliances, and influence change from within. Participants are encouraged to participate in activities at the U-School and/or SCII to expose themselves to transnational conversations.

5. Personal development: Participants continue to develop their leadership self-awareness and practice new leadership skills. They are encouraged to reflect on their experiences, seek feedback from others, and apply new learning in their personal and professional contexts.

As a Blue Belter moves transitions to Red Belt, she shall have to make the Commitment to Service.
