LEADERSHIP/SUPERVISION TRACK“Restore-Rebuild-Renew:

Strategies or Success”November 1, 2012

In our first hour before lunch, we’ll focus on you and how you learn and lead. And I’ll ask each of you to pick one event, opportunity, relationship or goal that you can take on between now and Thanksgiving.

Then right after lunch, I’ll go through with you four things that can make every conversation about collaboration or delegation better, no matter what your goal or outcome.

And then as we will wrap up the day, in light of:• What you’ve identified about how you personally tend to

learn and lead, in light of• The opportunity or goal you’ve picked for the coming

weeks,

I’ll ask you to pick one personal behavior to get better at. And I’m going to put on my coach hat and ask you to make yourself accountable to test-drive that behavior.


“Train up a child in accordance with his or her essential and intrinsic way.

It will set them on the path to develop and use their unique gifts for

the rest of their days.”

Patty’s paraphrase of Proverbs 22:6 (a job that starts with good parenting and continues as we take responsibility for our own

growth).

As you’re listening, help your partner to get very specific about the WHAT. (We’ll get to the HOW this afternoon.)

Write it down.


After lunch, I’ll go through with you four things that can make every conversation about collaboration or delegation better, no matter what your default, no matter the goal or outcome you’ve just written down.
