Most recently I partnered with a dean to facilitate their annual leadership retreat that included discussions about alignment with the overall university mission, objectives, and strategies. In addition to talking about <strong>what <\/strong>the college had to do, there was an emphasis on <strong>why<\/strong> and <strong>how<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We started by defining leadership as the intentional influence and impact on others. It was important that everyone saw how they contributed to the team regardless of title. Understanding their \u201cWHY\u201d was an equally important starting point from which to build alignment.

This provided direction for identifying individual and team action plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final challenge was to identify upcoming <em>Team Effectiveness Moments<\/em> that would test those action plans. This was intended to anticipate obstacles and to leverage successes. One key component was identifying a team member to hold each other accountable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appropriately, we ended the retreat with an expectation of \u201cto be continued\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like this, Comment on it Share it.
