Your teams will learn to understand the dynamics of change, making assumptions, dealing with resistance and control, active listening, creative solutions for breaking deadlocks and how to see yourself in the new vision proposed by the alliance. We use conflict resolution and negotiation methods from the Justice Institute of BC, Centre for Conflict Resolution, Change T-U Methodology for empowerment from Rob McGregor . Then we ensure the alliance's reason for being is developed into an actionable plan using Lorraine Rieger's Vision Building , project management methodologies and Smart Marketing System. Buy-in has been achieved. Now it's time for execution and leadership by example.
Many alliances can break down during the executable phase.
In addition to status meetings with the Alliance teams and key management, Spirit West's coaches continue to work with the team and each player to provide the needed support through this change that the alliance members and their managers are going through. The alliance team members are coached individually by phone and in-person when able and as a group over the next few months to ensure that the action plan coupled with these new communication strategies are enacted. In this train the trainer model, the team leaders will be able to lead by example with their own department heads. Each alliance program is customized for the industry and alliance goals as needed. The length of each event is determined by the number of people attending and the issues that have to be resolved.
