Women Working Together: Support or Sabotage?

Building Organizational Excellence Through Leader-Follower Collaboration

PURPOSE:

This workshop is designed to examine the relationship of leaders and followers through the other end of the telescope. Increasingly, it is becoming clear that leaders need to surround themselves not with "yes men" but with professionals who will be genuine partners for organizational success. These partners, or "courageous followers", will provide both support and honest feedback about the leadership's decisions and actions so these can be continually improved just as a leader expects continual improvement from those below. In an era of increased competitiveness, board scrutiny and regulatory watchfulness, robust honesty and effective interaction with senior levels of the organization are crucial for success.

OBJECTIVES:

This workshop is designed to:

raise awareness of the equal importance of exemplary followership behavior to leadership behavior

identify styles of followership and directions for growth

increase understanding of how hierarchical structures do not need to produce less-than-candid hierarchical relationships

examine the sources of courage that enable followers to give leaders important information they may not want to hear

identify the numerous ways in which followers can give better support to their leaders

develop an awareness of the elements of effectively providing leaders with sensitive feedback

in longer workshop formats, develop the skills for doing so

providing leaders with the awareness and tools for creating cultures in which followers will more readily act as partners

METHODOLOGY:

Participants will assess their own followership styles. Using hypothetical situations they will examine the ramifications of the different styles and identify their personal growth needs. They will explore their own values structure that will enable them to act when necessary with courage. They will also examine the tools they have as a leader to foster courageous follower behavior. In full day workshops we will use high-quality video scenarios to examine the key followership behaviors. In longer workshops participants will use role plays to cement the skills needed to successfully provide feedback in difficult situations.

FACILITATOR:

Ira Chaleff is the author of the book, The Courageous Follower: Standing Up To and For Our Leaders. He has designed and conducted workshops for a wide range of private sector, government and educational organizations. His ECCA colleagues, David Lassiter and Emily Barnes are also certified to conduct workshops on this theme.

LENGTH:

Designs are available from two-hours to two days. Half day and Full Day are most common.

Change Management Training for Managers

PURPOSE: The workshop's purpose is to provide managers with the framework, knowledge, and tools needed to successfully pilot and manage their teams through periods of change. The workshop may be utilized by managers at any level of an organization. Participants may be individuals, a team, or both. The workshop is highly effective at times of management transition, when change at the senior leadership level is causing increasing uncertainty, confusion, immobilization, and anxiety across the organization.

OBJECTIVES: Managers will have:

A clear framework for understanding the change process,

Knowledge of how change works at the individual and team levels,

Understanding of the emotional impact of change on performance and how to manage it productively,

Ability to minimize the distress and disruptions caused by change,

Ability to coach associates through confusion, uncertainty, and stress,

Checklists to maintain focus on customers and the business, and

The ability to build support for change

METHODOLOGY: Managers will participate in activities and discussions that expand their understanding of how change works at the cognitive and emotional levels and practice techniques designed to teach them to manage change productively. This workshop employs presentations, case studies, role-play, and group discussion around real-time business issues, which allow for the application of the contextual framework and practical techniques. Participants will complete an action plan for the application of their new knowledge and employment of the learned techniques.

FACILITATOR: David Lassiter is the director and founder of Leadership Advantage, a coaching and consulting firm dedicated to helping executives, teams, and organizations achieve their objectives.

The Five Pillars of Leadership Program

PURPOSE: The key to a quality organization is quality people. To improve the quality and performance of an organization you must attend to the people who create it. It makes little sense to tinker with refining the structure, systems and processes of an organization unless you first work to improve the quality and performance of those who lead it. The Five Pillars of Leadership program is designed to lift executive and upper-middle managers to new heights of performance and results. The Five Pillars program explores and examines fundamental as well as breakthrough concepts in leadership practices. Focusing on the personal as well as the skill sides of leadership, it offers executives an unparalleled opportunity to deepen their understanding of the interdependence among leadership, personal performance, and organizational results. The program enables participants to intentionally manage, to a higher, more productive level, their own performance and effectiveness within their organization.

OBJECTIVES: To develop leaders who:

Understand how unconscious, self-limiting patterns of thinking and behavior limit their ability to be powerful contributors and assets to their organizations

Are better able to say what needs saying, take risks, and make tough choices

Can effectively navigate through times of continuous or extreme change and uncertainty and maintain their focus

Can see new possibilities in old problems and issues

Can foster high performance teams

Guide by a deeper sense of values and principles

Are leaders people want to follow

METHODOLOGY: The basic approach to learning in this workshop is exploration and discovery, individually and in small groups. The workshop uses a variety of learning technologies, including short presentations, experiential activities to examine concepts, group discussion, personal reflection, video, and a manual. State-of-the-art leadership assessment technology is used to provide participants with feedback on their leadership styles and/or skills. During the final session, participants will bring together their insights and learning and formulate a specific Application Plan to put into action in their workplace(s).

Women Working Together: Support or Sabotage?

PURPOSE: This workshop is designed for leaders in organizations who want to maximize the productivity of the women in their organizations. While many women (both leaders and team members) use collaboration and participative behaviors to create high performing teams, Kari Uman presents new research that shines a light on some of the unspoken and unacknowledged ways that women can sabotage each other by using passive-aggressive behaviors, covert competition, and power grabs. These behaviors are destructive to other women, their teams and their organizations and may be one of the reasons why women in the pipeline for leadership positions are leaving their organizations. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to explore their role in shaping their workforce and what they can do as models, mentors and leaders in establishing norms, holding people accountable for destructive behavior and developing an environment conducive to maximizing everyone's performance and productivity.

OBJECTIVES: This workshop is designed to:

identify the ways women in organizations support and/or sabotage each other,

make recommendations for how to maximize constructive behavior among women; and

provide participants the opportunity to develop action plans that they can implement in their roles as leaders in organizations to increase support and ameliorate sabotage.

METHODOLOGY: Participants will assess their own behaviors, engage in large and small group discussions and develop action plans.

FACILITATOR: Kari Uman, Senior Associate of Executive Coaching & Consulting Associates, is an expert on the dynamics between women who work together. She has had over 30 years of experience helping women identify and change behaviors that are sabotaging their best efforts and learn new ones to ensure their success.
