Part 1 : The Conscious Use of Self
Edie Seashore and Michael Broom
Ms. Edie Seashore and Dr. Michael Broom are world-renowned change management professionals. Through a combination of presentations, discussion, and interactive exercises, Edie and Michael will help us to look at the depth of our ability to use ourselves as effective agents of change. The conscious use of self is the alpha discipline of leadership. Effective use of self calls for learning how to be aware of and direct our own thoughts, our emotions, and our behavior. As we move toward mastery, we will be more and more able to behave in such a manner that the systems within which we wish to lead will respond in ways consonant with our goals and intentions. The eight fundamental principles of leadership will be introduced:
» Use of System Orientation
» Power and Influence
» Building and Using Support Systems
» Learning from Difference
» Creating Empowerment
» Giving and receiving feedback
» Ensuring Sound and Current Data
This systemic Use of Self approach is applied in Triple Impact Coaching, a model and book by Edie Seashore and Beverly Patwell, and the above disciplines are highlighted in Michael Broom’s book, The Infinite Organization: Celebrating the Positive Use of Power in Managing Organizations.
Part 2 :: Evolutionary Leadership for a sustainable world
“The evolutionary path ... increases the overall organization's capacity for change." D. Stoddard & C. Jarbenpaa (1995), Reengineering design is radical: Reengineering change is not, Harvard Business Review
