Discovering the Language of Collaboration and Crucial Conversations
Unsatisfactory working relationships are frequently the chief cause of discord in and outside board and Council rooms. Poor or limited board, CEO, Tribal Council, and TA communications are often the underlying causes of poor working relationships – leading to a partial or total disconnect between board or Council members or with the CEO or the TA.
Communicating effectively is a challenging task – and critical to success. Let us help you strengthen your communication, partnership, and working relationships with each other.
Learn to:
- Listen and talk to each other effectively;
- Work together collaboratively;
- Resolve conflict for optimum performance;
- Separate fact from emotion when engaging in crucial conversations.
Why engage the Institute to strengthen communications among and between board members, board members and the CEO, and Council Members and the TA?
- Trust and buy-in cohesiveness and effectiveness are enhanced
- Interpersonal communication is strengthened, working together is more harmonious, and you become more proactive in creating solutions to problems
- Boards, CEOs, Councils, and TAs become more effective in leading and inspiring their organizations and each other to perform to their highest potential
- Everyone is better able to discuss the “Elephant in the Room” in a non-confrontational manner
Institute faculty show you how to successfully listen, receive, process, and send information. They identify individual communication and decision-making styles and share techniques for communicating effectively with them. These techniques can be adopted to effectively communicate with each other, shareholders, Tribal members, staff, family, friends, and associates.
