WHAT WE OFFER

Leadership workshops can take many forms. Examples of sessions include:

• strategic planning workshops

• leadership and governance retreats

• executive, councillor or board alignment sessions

• cross-team collaboration sessions (e.g. ELT-Councillor or Exec-Operations)

• facilitated development of working agreements

• clarification of roles, responsibilities and decision-making pathways

• sensemaking sessions to consider data or reports and what this means for the leadership group’s role

• sessions to embed vision, values or behaviours into everyday practice.’

We deliver collective group processes rather mediate individual disputes between two parties or resolving individual issues. Where divergence or tensions exist, we help the group table and work through them together in service of a shared outcome that benefits the whole.

VALUE AND IMPACT

Our facilitators bring neutrality, independence and experience working with leaders and decision makers. We can help groups to:

• determine their role in the implementation of strategic directions

• achieve clarity on strategic priorities or parameters for future action

• build the conenction between and improve performance across both elected and operational leadershup groups

• table conflict constructively without derailing the work and purpose of the group

• build stronger working relationships and shared ownership of the way forward

• interpret complex data and information or navigate challenges and complexity.

WHAT this helps solve

Risks mitigated by facilitated leadership sessions include:

• misalignment between leaders that has the group stuck

• governance tension

• unclear priorities or roles

• lack of shared purpose

• strained executive-councillor relationships

• unresolved group tension

• unclear decision-making pathways

• difficulty moving from discussion to agreed action.
