Why conflict is not the problem
Unresolved conflict is costly, and that’s why many leaders avoid conflict at all costs. But conflict is not the problem, mismanagement is. In this 90-minute session participants will learn how to identify mismanagement, understand the three dysfunctional behaviors, and the three components necessary to build conflict capacity.
Building Leadership Identity
Why do new leaders struggle even if they were a high performer in their previous role? Leadership Identity. Leadership identity always shapes leadership behavior. In this 90-minute session Marlene uncovers the three dysfunctional identities that contribute to unnecessary conflict. You’ll also learn how your narrative affects your leadership, understand the role of culture, and map out five steps to building a new leadership identity.
Responsibility: The Recognition of Choice
One of the greatest powers you have as a leader is the power of choice, but you can’t make good choices if you don’t understand the distinction between decision and choice. You can’t make aligned choices if you don’t understand the balance between choice and responsibility. In this 90-minute session participants learn how to listen to language that indicates a lack of responsibility, why leaders need to model choice abundance, and how to stop advising and start coaching so that you grow responsible employees.
