Facilitation for Leaders

 
Facilitation for Leaders

Convening groups of talented people to create ideas and solutions is an essential activity of management. Meeting management is one element of this, yet there is even more that a leader can offer by making meetings vibrant opportunities for contributions, idea generation and clarity. Meeting facilitation is more than creating a focused agenda. It involves creating an environment where participants are drawn to offer their contributions, have lively creative disagreements, get clarity, feel heard, offer their strengths, and leave with a plan. This workshop will enable leaders to learn to:
 
  • Plan for the meeting, with a clear agenda
  • Bring clarity to agenda items are being mandated, and which are open to discussion
  • Involve participants in problem solving at an appropriate level
  • Draw quiet members into the discussion
  • Motivate through engagement
  • Ensure disparate points of view are aired and discussed
  • Identify what decisions have been made
  • Clarify who is responsible for doing what by when
