Facilitative Leadership^®

Tapping the Power of Participation

The latest developments in leadership practice and theory compel both formal and informal leaders to view leadership as service, respect the value and diversity that each person brings, and share power and decision–making. Facilitative Leadership® operationalizes these developments by offering you an opportunity to explore specific practices, skills, and tools that support the new thinking.

Benefits for Participants

This transformational learning experience is a forum for exploring the relationship between leadership and participation that builds on your every day challenges as a basis for practice. At the heart of the workshop are seven powerful leadership practices that will help you create a work environment distinguished by outstanding performance and personal satisfaction.

In this workshop, you will learn to:

• Create a vision of success and enroll others in its pursuit
• Lead collaborative planning and problem solving discussions
• Decide who should be involved in making decisions and how to involve them
• Coach and inspire others to perform at their best
• Design meetings, project plans and change strategies with concrete milestones and accountabilities that people understand and support
• Consider the three dimensions of success: results, process, and relationships
• Celebrate accomplishment in authentic and motivating ways

When you complete the Facilitative Leadership® program, you will have greater confidence in your ability to navigate difficult situations, advocate for change, and lead collaborative processes. You will be able to make and implement decisions more quickly and have more influence over your own and others’ success.

Benefits for Your Organization or Community

Leaders will learn to set and maintain strategic direction and momentum while enabling people to participate, take risks, innovate, and own the outcomes. Your organization or community will experience increased productivity, more ownership and alignment, deeper relationships and levels of commitment, more effective participation in interagency collaborations and community coalitions, and even more extraordinary results.
