Facilitating Successfully: A Practical Guide (Business) 7 Apr, 2017

by Sorin Dumitrascu

( 30 )

₹ 349.00

What inspires you to be a better leader? Is it when you witness leadership in action? Maybe you've seen a dramatic turnaround in a sports team due to excellent coaching or a meeting of minds during a high- conflict team session at work. In today's environment of extremely fast change, being able to unify diverse groups is imperative to success. That's why having excellent facilitation skills is a major asset in any career. Acquiring the competencies of a top facilitator is both an exciting and challenging process. The objective of this book is to get you started on the path to being a facilitative leader.

You will become skilled to perform several tasks: define facilitation, explore the skills and characteristics associated with facilitation, gain awareness of the responsibilities of a facilitator, identify the facilitative factors that cultivate group success. Whether you are facilitating your own work, managing a one-time event, or coordinating within your own work group, improving your skills in this role is a critical building block to career excellence.

It's time to move forward in the facilitative process, beyond preparation and into your first direct communication with the entire group of participants. This journey plots the entire book of a meeting from the opening chapter to the final page. The section helps you separate meeting fact from meeting fiction, all the while telling the story of dynamic facilitative processes.

The topics explore: five fundamental principles for beginning a meeting, strategic intervention: when, why, and how action planning and ending procedures. If you master the principles and practices in the next three topics, you are well on your way to effective facilitative leadership. Take advantage of the "how to" segments in the section. Each requires a level of mastery to guide others to accomplish their mission.

A wise person once said, "The only way out is through." At some point as a facilitator, you will have to deal with challenging situations. In fact, periods of frustration, confusion, and even conflict are normal when working with a difficult problem or a lot of change. The degree to which you, as a facilitator, are willing to help a group through the tough stuff, is directly related to the success of your meeting or work group. In fact, it is one of your key functions. When people see a storm coming, they could: take cover and wait it out, change direction to move around the storm, put on rain gear and stay the book, get wet, and then decide on a book of action, complain about the weather.

Have you ever used a shoe heel instead of a hammer to put a nail in the wall? Both work eventually, but which is most effective? Which takes less time? Which is less frustrating? Which is easier to use? While improvising is necessary at times, an effective facilitator wants to get the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. He knows which tool is best for each situation. He also knows what is in his toolbox. In this book, you will explore a variety of facilitator's tools and formats designed to help your team or work group achieve its goal. See each section for a brief description of it.

Co-facilitation Techniques In Co-facilitation Techniques, you will explore the value of working with a partner to achieve team goals. Breakout Groups The Breakout Groups section demonstrates techniques to maximize individual participation and generate better solutions. Alternative Formats and Tools Alternative Formats and Tools provides some tips on interactive exercises to heighten team creativity and have some fun in the process.

Managing During Difficult Times: A Practical Guide (Career Book 8) 13 May, 2017

by Sorin Dumitrascu

( 5 )

₹ 349.00

In every business or organization, difficult decisions have to be made in order to adjust to changing economic or marketplace conditions. Companies may have to go through serious organizational changes such as mergers, acquisitions, industrial strife, or downsizing. Whatever direction your organization decides to take, it's important that you communicate effectively with your employees to ensure they understand and support this decision.
During times of significant change, leaders within an organization will have different responsibilities. They may need to convey what the company's new strategic vision is and how they'll achieve it. Leaders should share information in a timely manner and explain how employees' day-to-day activities will be affected. And when planning their communication, leaders need to consider different factors, such as their goals, audience, and strategy.
In this course, you'll examine how different levels of leadership in an organization – senior management, middle management, and frontline supervisors – have distinctive responsibilities for communicating during difficult times. You'll also discover how to create an effective communication plan by using a five-step process that identifies the exact nature of the decisions and the actions needed to implement them.
Then you'll learn how to communicate difficult strategic decisions in face-to-face situations. You'll find out about the importance of explaining your decision and the alternatives explored, informing employees about who was involved in the decision-making process, and ensuring that employees understand the effects of the decision. Finally, you'll be given the opportunity to apply specific communication guidelines in a realistic scenario.
By following the guidelines outlined in this course, you'll have a greater understanding of how to communicate difficult decisions. You'll also learn how to gain the trust and support of your employees, which is crucial in helping your organization overcome any challenges it may be facing.

It's a fact that companies sometimes face challenging times. Economic downturns, mergers, or even extreme growth can present challenges to the way business is conducted. Whatever the nature of these challenges, companies need to respond appropriately in a way that will strengthen them as well as secure their survival.
Sometimes the first response to difficult conditions is to lay off employees. But that should be a last resort. Layoffs can have negative impacts, including a loss of trust among employees, which can be hard to reverse. Before resorting to layoffs, companies should consider other strategies, such a sequence of incrementally more severe cost-cutting actions. These can be highly effective, especially if you gain employee support for them.
If all other options have been exhausted and layoffs are necessary, your company's approach to carrying out the layoffs can still make a difference. With the right approach, you can at least minimize the damage. But challenging times should not be seen as entirely negative. They can also be regarded as an opportunity for the organization to become more efficient and effective.
In this course, you'll learn about how to manage your company's resources effectively in challenging times. It covers strategies for responding to challenging conditions, such as how to get employees to support cost-cutting measures. It offers alternatives to layoffs, and outlines what to do if layoffs are necessary. Finally, it explains how you can strengthen your company by taking advantage of the opportunities difficult times can present.
