Help your leaders master the human side of change. Change and transition -- in most of today's organizations, theyare unexpected and frequent, monumental in scope, relentless, andincreasingly complex. Flux has become the natural state of mostorganizations. Many leaders are skilled at effecting and respondingto the structural side of change: creating a vision, reorganizing,and restructuring. But it is rare that they have mastered theskills to constructively manage the human side of change: grieving,letting go, building hope, and learning. The Leading Through Transitions Facilitator's Guideprovides the information and tools facilitators need to conduct aneffective program that helps participants gain a deep understandingof the need to balance the dynamic tension between six pairs ofseemingly paradoxical leadership attributes related to managingchange: Being tough while simultaneously expressing appropriateempathy. Catalyzing change while understanding transition. Expressing a sense of urgency while retaining the capacity forrealistic patience. Being self-reliant yet trusting others. Radiating both optimism and realism. Capitalizing on strengths while fostering the capacity to goagainst the grain. This comprehensive package includes background information onleading with authenticity in times of transition and introduces theAuthentic Leadership Paradox Wheel. It provides detailedinstructions for preparing and following up after one-day andtwo-day workshops and scripts for workshop delivery. The packagealso includes the two sample Participant Workbooks, a Wheel Poster,a Wheel Handout, and a flash drive that contains an electronic copyof this Facilitator's Guide, workshop agendas, and supportingPowerPoint slides.

(Review Package for the book, Compass: Your Guide for Leadership Development and Coaching) Continuing research from the Center for Creative Leadership reports what kind of actions contribute to effective leadership—the kind of leadership that generates an inclusive process among managers, peers, employees, and senior leaders, and is marked by direction, alignment, and commitment. Guiding a team or an entire organization toward these outcomes requires competency—an interrelated set of knowledge, skills, and perspectives that address predictable and unpredictable situations. This book is for leaders and managers looking to develop competency in themselves and others. It is also for training and development professionals, either inside companies or working as independent consultants, who can use the book as a coaching tool and as a blueprint for leader development plans. For anyone concerned with his or her development as a leader, dedicated to developing their people for more responsibility, and committed to organizational sustainability, this book can be a valuable tool. This book distills the characteristics, actions, and perspectives at the heart of creative leadership. Its developmental opportunities and coaching tactics support a single purpose: to help you—and the people you develop—become what is needed in any circumstance to galvanize teams, groups, and organizations and help people move toward a thriving future. Achieving competency isn’t a check mark on a list. It’s a step toward creative leadership—leadership capable of adapting, inventing, and renewing itself amid the uncertainty, volatility, and ambiguity of a continually changing world.

Clear, actionable guidance toward managing a major leadership change Transitions at the Top is an insightful, informative guide to navigating a change in leadership.

This book provides the specific principles, guidelines, and actions that boards, C-suite executives, and HR leaders need to guarantee a successful CEO transition. Continuity is key as one leader passes the mantle to a successor, and this book spans the steps and events that take place from when the candidate accepts the offer, all the way through the point where a critical mass of followers have accepted him or her as the established leader. Coverage includes guidance on who should be engaged in the process, as well as role-specific advice for each member of the transition management team. Many books have been written to advise new incoming CEOs, but there is little guidance available for the organization as a whole.

Making the Case for Leading Across Differences Despite the growing challenges and opportunities created by our interconnected world, many leaders do not know how to handle situations in which there are misunderstandings or conflicts rooted in differences -- especially differences steeped in social identities, such as gender, religion, race, ethnicity, and country of origin. Filled with practical, relevant, and usable information, Leading Across Differences includes a wealth of illustrative examples for learning what it takes to lead a wide-range and diverse group of constituents. This Facilitator's Guide provides information on how to create and facilitate a session based on the accompanying Casebook. It also includes group debriefing suggestions as well as additional exercises intended for groups. Several chapters provide practical advice from practitioners about the elements of successful facilitation and session management. Praise for Leading Across Differences "Grounded in sound academic science, yet the cases will engage even the most skeptical corporate members who may question the practical value of intercultural training." --Peter W. Dorfman, Ph.D., Bank of America Distinguished Professor, College of Business, Department of Management, New Mexico State University "The value of the casebook for diversity educators is enhanced by a facilitator's guide and an instructor's guide." --David A. Kravitz, program chair, GDO Division, Academy of Management, professor and management area chair, School of Management, George Mason University
