Week 8 – Briefing Leadership Stakeholders
Week 8
Briefing Leadership Stakeholders
You completed the Refresh Workshop. The Team is halfway through its journey and refreshed and ready for the rest of the journey!
Your Tasks This Week
Meet with the Team Leader
You want to help the Team Leader harvest the momentum generated at the Refresh Workshop. Set up a time to debrief, within a few days of the workshop. In preparation for this, ask the Team Leader to draft a note to the team summarising the highlights of the Workshop and the decisions made. Make your own notes about these and use these to give feedback to the team leader on his or her note.
Make sure this follow-up note goes out to the team within a few days of the Refresh workshop.
Here are the other topics to cover with the Team Leader during the debrief:
- Give feedback to the Team Leader on his/her facilitation of the sessions they led.
- Solicit feedback from the Team Leader.
- Discuss the support she will need from you during the second half of the Challenge. How often would she like you to participate in team meetings? Etc.
Meet with the Challenge Strategist
Jointly with the Team Leader, meet with the Challenge Strategist, debrief and discuss the way forward. Here are topics to cover during the debrief:
- Their impressions and takeaways from the workshop
- Initial ideas related to sustainability, especially as they relate to things that can be done in the second half of the Challenge.
- Steps to engage other leaders in preparing for sustainability
- Key messages to communicate to other leaders, to brief them on the progress of the team, and elicit their participation in planning for sustainability.
The Challenge Strategist will use this discussion to prepare a briefing note for other leadership stakeholders. Please offer to help her prepare this.
