Leadership work before the Lift-off

Leadership work
before the Lift-off

As you may be aware, leaders in the district met and made a few key decisions that set the 100-Day Challenge in motion:

They sharpened the focus and picked an impact indicator that they felt was most relevant at this time. This, along with other guidance to the team, will be part of the Challenge Note team members will received.

They decided who should be on the team. If in doubt about the reason why some team members were chosen, be sure to ask the Mentors about this before the workshop.

They elected two mentors to represent the leadership vis a vis the team. Importantly, their role is to support the team, not to to lord over it.

Be sure to talk with the mentors and get their insights about the Challenge and the team, before the Lift-Off Workshop.

Thought starter reflection questions

Jot down thoughts on these questions – to the extent they are relevant to your experience at the session:

When did the mood in the event shift from “why are we here?” to “this could be interesting – I am excited to be part of this.” What triggered this shift?

When did you have to go “off script” on the agenda or to change the agenda? What triggered this? What did you adjust? How did it go?

What was most surprising to you at the event?

What new insights did you gain about the issue at hand, and about the way leaders in the system interacted with each other?

Where did the conversation get stuck? What got it unstuck?
