Review of the Action Commitments from the Previous Session Personal Action Items The success of Grow The LeaderTM is directly tired to its use both in your personal lives as well as back on the job. What was your follow-through on your Action commitments and what impact did you feel it had on your work and home life. Level of Management Support You were told that your boss would ask you how you have benefited from Module 3. With a show of hands, how many of you were approached by your bosses to support and reinforce the Action Commitments you made. Count the number of hands that went up; this is important data for the Steering Council. Now ask people to raise one hand with either one, three or five fingers up with the following criteria:

! one signifies a low level of management support (e.g. a passing comment) ! three signifies medium level of management support (e.g. a short conversation) ! five signifies excellent level of management support (e.g. sincere interest and

exploration)

Also report on the level of management support to the Steering Council. Review the Ground Rules from the previous session and ask if they were helpful and if they need any revisions or additions. Ask what participants can do to bring them to life even more in this module.

Participants Do the Following Exercise CURRENT CHALLENGING CHANGES AT YOUR ORGANIZATION We will start this session by getting you to think about the changes that your organization is going through and the impact these are having on you. First think about specific change initiative that impact you in your department or team. Answer the following questions individually in your Manual.

3 Minutes

! From your perspective, what are the important changes you are being asked to step up to and lead?

! What about these changes do you find exciting?

! What about these changes do you find challenging?

Get together with people in the room who you work closely with so you can relate to the challenges you write down. There may need to be some groups where some people may not fit in perfectly. There should be a minimum of three people in a group and a maximum of seven in any group. In these groups, discuss what each person wrote down and record common themes and challenges on a flip chart. Each group needs to have a spokesperson to read out their lists.

10 Minutes After all the groups have shared their outputs ask: ”By looking at all the flipcharts, what seems to be true about change in your organization?”

Show the Ritual 4 DVD The DVD and Discussion Set the context: You’ll now have an opportunity to see Robin Sharma talk about the importance of Surrender to ChangeTM in your organization. While the DVD is playing, jot down any information that you believe will help you embrace change. Debrief the DVD:

! “Now share your top three to five highlights from the DVD in small groups of four to five people. Record the highlights and common themes on a flip chart - the value surrendering to change. Have some examples to bring what you’ve recorded to life.”

! Have them select a spokesperson to read their list to the large group.

35 Minutes

Participants Do the Following Exercise RECOGNIZING THE UPSIDE AND FEARS OF CHANGE FOR YOU

Pair up with one individual. Look to work with someone who you have not spent much time with so far. (There might have to be one trio because of the numbers. That group will have to do their own timekeeping and move quicker through the exercises.) Now that you are in pairs, choose an A and a B. Person A will begin and ask this question over and over and NOT make any comments. Each time person B responds, ask the question again so that they will go deeper into understanding the upsides and their fears of change. These insights help us deal with change better because the unconscious too often sabotages our best efforts. Bring them into our awareness gives us better choices.

! Question 1: What is good about all the changes you are experiencing?

! After approximately 3 minutes, when most pairs have gone as far as they can, give 2

minutes for Person B to record their insights. Then switch and have Person B ask the same question to Person A for approximately 3 minutes. Then allow 2 minutes for Person A to record their insights.

10 minutes

! Question 2: What are you afraid of in change? (Be honest)

! Then ask Person B to ask the same question to person A.

10 minutes

Now in groups of four or five, discuss the following questions and have a spokesperson present a summary:

! What role does fear play in limiting your life and preventing progress?

! What are your three biggest fears limiting you in your career (e.g. fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of looking different, fear of not being good enough)?

! What opportunity does change represent?

20 minutes (15 minutes for the exercise and 5 minutes for the spokesperson) Debrief in the large group:

5 minutes Who would like to share what insights they have gained from the exercise? Ask people to record their overall personal insights in their Manual.

Practice – Handling Resistance to Change Divide participants into groups of three where each person can talk about and address a change challenge that they are currently facing. Ensure that they select a challenging and real life situation that they currently have to deal with in implementing a change in your organization. Have them fill in the worksheet ‘Practice Handling Resistance to Change’ prior to getting into their trio. Remind them to look at their own reactions and what this brings you up for them. EXPLAIN: In groups of three, you will each have an opportunity to Practice and get feedback on how you handle resistance to change. Incorporate any ideas you gained from the session so far. The focus of the Practice will be on learning to change your approach versus changing another person. You cannot make anyone else change, but you can change the way you deal with them. There are three phases to the Practice which add up to 15 minutes and there will be three rounds for a total of 45 minutes.

Phase 1: Set-up where you explain the content/context of the challenge as well as the behavior that you find challenging. In this way, your Practice Partner can effectively role play

3 minutes Phase 2: The actual Practice where you interact with your colleague who is behaving as the person you described might react back on the job. Get into a dialogue for 4 to 5 minutes with that person. Save the discussion on how to handle that person for the feedback phase.

5 minutes

Phase 3: The observer provides constructive feedback and the three people talk about what was

effective in the way the person practicing handled the resistance as well as alternative ways that the person might change in their approach. Look for ways they could be more effective and engage the other person (e.g. surfacing and acknowledging the other person’s fears, concerns, hopes etc. through this change).

7 minutes

Large group Debrief: Let’s hear from each of the trios;

! What did you learn about yourself in the way you deal with resistance to change?

! What will you do differently back on the job to be more effective in dealing with change?

10 minutes

Summarize into a ‘Commitment to Action’ and Wrap-up

Remind participants to summarize the actions that they will take at a personal level as well as at a team/department/or organization to bring this Ritual alive: their boss will likely ask them about these commitments.

What insights/learning did you get from today’s module?

Record a few of these on a flip chart.

5 Minutes Remind participants to bring their Compelling Cause Statement that they created in Module 1; they will need to refer to it in the next Ritual – Focus on the WorthyTM.
