Questions explored include:
- How do leaders be both clear about the challenge to be addressed and humble about where the best answers may come from
- How do we engage people's intrinsic motivational aspirations and drop the "carrot and stick" approaches
- How do we provide employees enough structure to keep people focused without stifling the creative impulse that naturally exists within people
Lastly, we'll explore large group change processes that help leaders unleash the collective talents of their entire organization.
Why you should Attend
Leaders are constantly challenged with making sure that they get today's products/services delivered to customers AND building capacity for the future. One can't be sacrificed for the other.
This takes a leader that can hold competing thoughts in their mind and more importantly, help their people do the same. This workshop explores how to help leaders pay attention to both those needs.
Along with the analytical/critical thinking skills needed, leaders must be humble enough to signal to their team that they don't have all the answers and allow members of the team to step up. We will also explore how leaders must engage people differently if they want "commitment" vs just "compliance".
