If a key function of leadership is to initiate change, then it requires a capacity to connect people with their peers in service of something greater than themselves with the overall goal to increase organizational capacity and sustainability. This aspect of leadership is more about engagement than role modeling, motivating others or directing and controlling people.
The leadership of engagement and convening requires a shift in thinking about cause and effect and about problem-solving versus co-creating the future.
At the most concrete and practical level, this is about language. Transformation occurs when we engage people in particular conversations that have the capacity to create an alternative future. This is leadership language in action.
Six Conversations that Matter: Leadership Language in Action is a workshop developed by Peter Block based on his best-selling books, “The Answer to How is Yes” and “Community: The Structure of Belonging”. This workshop invites participants to experience these new conversations in real time and understand how, as leaders, they can help to transform their organization.
Target Outcomes for Leaders:
- Lead so that others commit to the success of an organization without playing “lets make a deal.”
- Help others and ourselves to declare new possibilities with the faith that we can live out our personal intentions and also serve the organization.
- Create ownership by moving the conversations from complaining and waiting for others to change to ones where we realize we have helped create the very place we thought was owned by others.
- Focus on strength and capacity rather than problem-solving or deficiencies.
- Hold a stance wholeheartedly with an acceptance
