2. Cultivating CONNECTIVITY …building emotional capital for inspired performance Connectivity is a basic precondition for anything leaders do. Without it, we can’t influence, inspire, motivate or mobilize. Staff keep an emotional bank account on leaders: debits are disconnection, credits are connections that promote positive relations and productive performance. If you want committed action and top performance, you just have to connect with people first. This Loose Change Session explores what connectivity is, its motivational and emotional links and crucial leadership lessons and practices to create more connection. Topics we touch on include:
3. Restoring RESPECT …strategies for building more respectful workplaces Rumblings about respect reverberate repeatedly around workplaces. Along with trust, it’s one of the twin currencies of leadership. Most teams name ‘respect’ among their top 10 values and lack of it as a major bugbear. It’s critical for constructive relationships and great teamwork. Its absence raises ire and turns teams toxic. This Loose Change Session looks at what respect is, dynamics of disrespect and positive steps you can take to restore more respectful team cultures. Topics we touch on include:
4. Tackling TOUGH TALKS …how to raise tough topics and give hard feedback Many leaders are reluctant to tackle tough talks. Giving hard feedback to people whose reaction is likely to be volatile is no walk-in-the-park and starting is the most stressful part. What we say to start pretty much determines the direction the discussion takes after that. You only have a few sentences to raise the issue without raising defensiveness to such a height your discussion degenerates into argument straightaway. This Loose Change Session focuses on starting a difficult discussion, raising tough topics and giving hard feedback in ways that are frank, fact-based and less defensiveness-raising. Topics we touch on include:
5. Confronting CHANGE …preparing people for change and leading them through it Coping with change where we have little control is confronting. Many feel cynical, overwhelmed, confused, deflated or change-fatigued. The way people respond to change is critical in determining how much, how well or even whether they’ll change at all. Many change efforts neglect the people side. Whatever shape change takes, people need help to prepare themselves personally and learn how to cope with it constructively. This Loose Change Session looks at what you can do to prepare then lead people through change - to convert anxiety, denial and resistance into constructive change energy. Topics we touch on include:
6. Recreating CULTURE …strategies and steps for leading culture change Culture matters because it impacts strategy, performance and behaviour. It’s the secret ‘X’ factor in change success. Leaders are often told ‘getting the culture right’ is the most critical facet to focus on for sustainable results. They’re acutely aware how constructive cultures generate positive performance energy and destructive ones drain it. But how do you recreate culture and where do you start? This Loose Change Session looks at what makes up culture, what seems to work when it comes to renovating or recreating it and what’s involved in leading a culture change effort. Topics we touch on include:
