Developing the Leader Within You

Published by Thomas Nelson Publishers

---

Acceptance and maximization of change is a leadership role anyone in an organization can play.  We want to help people become more comfortable with change and understand that it’s often a matter of when, not if, that things change.  When that’s the case – the sooner, the better.

This workshop addresses the need for change, the reasons for change, and how to get buy-in for that change.  It also encourages proactive growth, (rather than reactive).

Exercise Overview

1 Lecture (10 minutes)   |   “Motivation Flywheel”

A recap of the article, as well as a brief discussion on motivation and how it is generated by action.  (and not the other way around)

2 Solo & Discussion (15 minutes)  |  “Change Attitude”

Discussion and exercises on the three reasons people change their behaviours.  We also look at the general attitude towards change and why people feel that way.

3 Solo & Discussion (20 minutes)   |   “Triple Vision”

This exercise examines the purpose for change, by looking at three probable outcomes based on 1) Not changing behaviors, 2) Changing Reactively, and 3) Changing Proactively.

4 Wrap Up Discussion (5 minutes)   |   “Good Ol’ Days”

A brief discussion on reminiscing – the advantages, the drawbacks and how we should do so moving forward.

Key Deliverables

Staff members partaking in, and completing this workshop will gain a better understanding of the nature of motivation and attitudes towards change.  Through several exercises, we will work to create a mindset that embraces change and inspires others to do the same.

This 50 minute workshop requires no additional materials beyond the standard Pen, Paper, Whiteboard and Markers.  This is a stand alone workshop, and no additional followup work is required.
