Summary/Abstract: The adaptation of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® can be used as an innovative facilitated teaching methodology to aid in the leadership development of graduate students. Through a four-step kinesthetic experience, students developed awareness of key elements of shared leadership through metaphoric storytelling. Results of the adaptive Lego exercise indicated affirmative participant outcomes that included: the realization of visual clarity when using metaphoric three- dimensional building to understand course concepts, the ability to experience group dynamics and communication skills in real-time, and the recognition that meaning-making through storytelling can be an emotive experience. The results of this study indicate that using the kinesthetic brick modelling methodology for leadership practice is a promising higher education andragogical option.
