What Are the Obstacles and How Does QQSR Overcome Them?
Things that impede change
In practice, we work on:
- Self awareness through feedback:
- From psychometric assessments
- 360 reporting
- Developing self management and social awareness in cognitive behavioural
workshops (CBWs)
- Developing relationship management skills through CBWs and coaching
We explore...
- Personality characteristics (intraversion/extraversion, openness, etc);
- Workstyle and conflict management preferences;
- Common fear patterns;
- 360 assessments of management competence and failings
We develop ...
- Reflection capacities and comprehension of how the person typically reacts
- Assertiveness skills
- Improved conflict management
- Capacity for ‘crucial conversations’
- Improved delegation
- Skills for self management and organisation
We link development ...
- Strongly to the actual workplace context through action plans, follow up and
coaching.
We develop shared experiences
- When we use CBWs, these have both an individual and also a team component.
Participants:
- explore stories of success and failure together
- share learnings and ideas
- role play and undertake exercises
- They also follow up the CBWs with group support and discussion networks
We purposively frame leadership group work
- We ‘make the implicit explicit’ by having a focus upon adaptive leadership
and culture as part of the leadership team discussions
- We use a variety of approaches and devices (work cafe, open space,
appreciative inquiry) etc so that every method, models what is desired.
