Developing Your Organisation

'Up for It' Attitudes

Increasingly organisations are faced with

• significant and immediate performance challenges.
• an environment of rapid and profound change.
• a need to build real understanding and commitment if change is to be sustainable and spearheaded by your leaders.

In such times you may want to work very deliberately with your leaders at an 'attitudes and beliefs' level.

Some of our attitudes and beliefs about addressing leadership culture include...

• Change happens individually first and then collectively.
• Respected and supported people give more of their best.
• Open and honest dialogue helps to minimise blocks to performance.
• Relationships are key to building commitment.
• Appropriate Support and Challenge maximises individual, team and organisational performance.
• Sufficient dissatisfaction with the present, a compelling vision of the future, confidence in the initial actions to be taken and belief that the future is achievable, will reduce the inherent resistance to change.

Up for It workshops help leaders and those they lead to

• clearly understand what they are being asked to commit to (and the opportunity to shape some of this).
• generate a strong sense of personal and collective responsibility for what it's going to take to meet the challenges ahead.
• increase self-awareness, build some skills and contribute to a 'feedback rich' environment…with a very clear 'as is' picture.
• create open and direct working environments, with clear agreements about how to sustain them.
• agree what development and support is needed, and what they need to do with their own teams, to lead the way.
• build intellectual and emotional commitment.

The Workshops will be tailored to your own needs. Typical themes include...

• Getting ready for leading change.
• Context and Climate (we need now).
• How did we get here? (Where we’ve been, where we are, where we’re going).
• Brave New World. (Compelling need for change).
• What about us? (Implications for our team).
• What this means to me. (Personal implications).
• My response. (Personal ownership and practical commitments).
• Leading the way. (Engaging my teams).
• Avoiding the ‘One Hit Wonder’ (Contracting, planning, reviewing).
