Workshop Preparation
Tailored specifically for local government leadership teams, our workshop spans two intensive days designed to enhance essential leadership skills. We begin with a thorough assessment using the Leadership Team Benchmark, which helps us understand the unique dynamics and needs of your team.
Once the assessments are completed, but prior to the workshop, each participant engages in one or more virtual sessions with an Executive Coach. These coaching sessions provide each participant an opportunity to review their individual strengths and begin to build a personalized strategic plan for their own leadership journey.
The workshop sessions are tailored to the individual’s and the organization’s specific needs, ensuring that every aspect of the workshop is precisely aligned with the challenges and objectives of your team. The Chief Administrative Officer plays a pivotal role in this process, having the opportunity to review and influence the workshop plan to best meet the team’s goals.
Our approach ensures that the workshop is not just an event but a personalized leadership development journey.
Workshop Overview
Navigating Our Leadership Retreat: A Journey from Self-Awareness to Strategic Execution
Embark on a transformative two-day journey designed to amplify the leadership capabilities within your local government team. Our structured retreat progresses through four key stages:
Know Thyself
We begin with a deep dive into self-awareness, utilizing assessments as a cornerstone to establish a current baseline for each individual and the team as a whole. This phase helps participants understand their strengths and areas for growth within the context of their team dynamics.
Design the Future
Through visualization exercises, participants explore potential team norms and the type of organizational culture they aspire to cultivate. This stage is about envisioning an ideal future state that aligns with the team’s values and goals.
Strategic Initiatives
With a clear vision established, we shift focus to mapping out the path forward. Participants will use SMART goals to chart a course from the current baseline to their desired future state, outlining specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound steps.
Ensure Commitment
The final stage addresses the practical aspects of achieving the set goals. Teams will discuss and identify the resources needed to support their strategic initiatives, ensuring there is a solid plan for resource allocation and commitment.
