Essentials of Leadership

Leader as Coach

Leading Change

The focus of this module is to examine change inhibitors that create stress, waste resources, slow change efforts, or lead to outright failure, and discover how to lead, cope and win in the face of great change.

• 
  Understand and apply fundamental areas that are necessary to lead effective individual, team and organizational change efforts.
  
• 
  Analyze and evaluate behaviors that lead to successful change initiatives in organizational settings.
  
• 
  Managing personal change and the change of others
  
• 
  Prepare a change case study and develop an action plan for achieving successful change
  
• 
  Serve as an organizational change agent
  

Thinking Strategically

Perhaps the most significant impact leaders can have on organizations is through their ability to think strategically. This is a substantially different activity than building a strategy. The strategic thinker is capable of the following, and thus these will form the elements of the module:

• 
  Easily sift through data and identify critical information
  
• 
  Develop, adopt or accept a desired future end-state
  
• 
  Identify key information requirements, resources and decision points along the path to reaching the end state
  
• 
  Balance the big picture awareness with tactical level understanding and details
  
• 
  Develop, maintain and adjust mental simulations that continually assess the elements above
  

Strategic Decision Making and Critical Reasoning

Are you a good decision maker? A recent 2008 study of global firms by McKinsey concluded: “Individual and group psychology can cause irrational decision making by both individuals and organizations, resulting in less than ideal outcomes. Even the best-designed strategic planning processes don’t always lead to optimal decisions.” Improved technical mastery of a discipline (e.g., finance, engineering, geology, etc.) does not improve your competence in strategic decision making. However, career success is intricately linked to competence in strategic decision making.

• 
  Enhance your capability to frame, structure, and analyze decision opportunities from a strategic point of view
  
• 
  Sensitize you to the business and behavioral aspects of the decision process
  
• 
  Confirmation bias, loss aversion, emotional intelligence, availability heuristic, sunk-cost, etc.
  
• 
  Help you to examine and address the different issues in influencing and motivating people for successful decision implementation
  
• 
  Group think, common information bias, functional bias, listening impairment
  
• 
  Develop your decision skills through in-depth coaching of a decision in which you are currently involved

Creative Strategy Development and Execution

http://www.rollins.edu/execed/evening-workshops/creative-strategy-development-and-execution/index.html
The idea that only “ivory tower” types in firms have to understand organizational strategy is so 1980s thinking!! In 2011, we all play a part in firm success – nobody can hide from it. No matter what industry and market you’re in – public or private sector, physical product manufacturer or service provider, business-to business or business-to consumer market – it’s not just the boardroom and c-suite people at the top that have a role in strategy success. Everybody has a role to play in strategy, and everybody had better be able to make their needed contribution!
The more all organization members understand about creative strategy development and execution the better the performance of the firm. Thus, this two-session workshop is appropriate for organization members at all levels. The word “creative” is critical, since it takes creativity to be successful in business today. This two-part workshop provides participants a lively and engaging “deep dive” into contemporary best practices in strategy development and execution. You will leave better-able to contribute to the success of your firm and your unit.
