Week minus 3 -Engaging Leadership Stakeholders
Week Minus 3
Engaging Leadership Stakeholders
This week, you have one big task: to support the Challenge Strategist in engaging the leadership stakeholders to make two important decisions: the Focus of the 100-Day Challenge and the 100-Day Team membership.
The Learning Deep Dives of last week will help you answer some questions these leaders may have about the 100-Day Challenge approach and GBVF in South Africa.
This week, we suggest that you go over two additional Learning Deep Dives that will help you be more convincing about the way forward when you talk with Leadership Stakeholders:
Gallery of Ending GBVF 100-Day Challenges in South Africa, highlighting results achieved by 100-Day Team over the past three years.
End GBVF Dashboard is a tool available to the public, mayors, cabinet, and ministers to track progress on GBVF and hold each other accountable.
As part of the prep work last week, the Challenge Strategist developed a short list of “focus areas” for 100-Day Challenges. To help you both work with leadership colleagues to narrow this down to a single focus area, please go over the Learning Deep Dive on Choosing a Focus for your 100-Day Challenge.
To guide the leaders through the decision on team composition, please go over the Learning Deep Dive: Who Should be on the 100-Day Team?
In case you and the Challenge Strategist are planning one event for all the leadership stakeholders to engage them in these decisions, we prepared a slide pack you can customise and use at the meeting. Click on the button below to download it.
If appropriate, you can ask someone from the World of Impact to be “on call” during your meeting with other leaders to answer questions they may have.
As a Coach, it would be ideal if you facilitate these discussions at the meeting. This will free up the Challenge Strategist to be a full participant in the discussions. It’ll also be good practice for you on facilitation, as you will be facilitating 100-Day Team discussions at the Start-Up Workshop. To help you get ready for your facilitation role, please go over the Leaning Deep Dive: Facilitation 101
One last thing to pin down this week...
It is important to decide with the Challenge Strategist on a date for the Start-Up Workshop. This will be a one-day workshop where all Team Members and you, the Team Coach, are available and fully focused on the 100-Day Challenge. The Challenge Strategist will need to be there for the first and last hour of the day.
Ideally, this should be scheduled in 2-3 weeks.
