Podcasts about facilitative

There are three kinds of conversations that we usually see in coaching and leadership. These are neutral conversations, facilitative conversations, and transformational conversations. Transformational conversations are the type of conversation that most people get into coaching for. It is more of seeing your blind spots. Inside a transformational conversation, we are entering into the context that there are some things that you simply cannot see with your own eyes.  Facilitative conversation tends to be more of the steps you need to take. After the transformational conversation, the facilitative conversation aims to give you direction. This part of coaching can feel very confronting because it moves you into your fear.  Lastly, a neutral conversation is a conversation where the person basically doesn't have a gap. In this situation, we need to get curious about ourselves, and what are the things you need to happen in your life. Listen as Adam Quiney gives clear illustrations and examples for these kinds of conversations! Enjoy the show! 

8 Core Practices of Facilitative Leaders by Michael Wilkinson Amazon.com Michaelthefacilitator.com Leadstrat.com What is a Facilitative Leader? Facilitative leaders create organizations where engagement is the norm, collaboration is the vehicle, and higher levels of achievement are the result. Unfortunately, many leaders continue to view their role primarily as one of setting direction, allocating resources, and putting in place rewards, support, and development systems that ensure their people stay focused on achieving that direction. In the changing workplace, this archaic view of leadership is completely inadequate. More and more, employees are seeking to understand where their organization is going and to influence the paths taken to get there. This shift in the workplace requires a new set of leadership skills. Leaders must know how to inspire people around a vision, foster trust, manage group interaction, build consensus, resolve conflict, and adapt their approach to the specific needs of each person they lead. They must be able to facilitate rather than dictate. This new direction calls for facilitative leaders. Praise for 8 Core Practices of Facilitative Leaders "If you want a great book that takes a facilitative approach to leadership, here it is! The 8 Core Practices of Facilitative Leaders offers practical and insightful strategies any leader can apply immediately. Read this book and learn the best ways to create engagement, buy-in, and alignment in your organization." --Ken Blanchard, coauthor ofThe New One Minute Manager(R) and Leading at a Higher Level "Michael credits me with teaching him to value thinking and communication preferences. He has written a practical guide to help you understand the behaviors needed to be highly impactful as a facilitative leader." --Ann Herrmann-Nehdi, chief thought leader and chair of the board at Herrmann, creators of the HBDI Assessment and Whole Brain Thinking

Join us on the Agile Mentors Podcast as Brian unveils the secrets to resolving conflicts to achieve win-win outcomes in your Agile teams. Overview Whether you're a Scrum Master, Product Owner, or an Agile coach, conflicts are inevitable and can become messy if not navigated successfully. Today, on the Agile Mentors Podcast, Brian guides us through various conflict types and shares techniques for effectively managing and resolving team conflicts. These methods encompass the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI) framework, facilitative listening, and the use of team agreements to validate differences, ensuring that everyone feels safe and acknowledged, creating win-win solutions for all involved. Listen Now to Discover: [02:29] - How we handle conflict on our teams. [02:55] - Conflict is necessary for teams to challenge each other and make better decisions (Chernobyl disaster example). [04:38] - Conflict is inevitable and can take various forms, including messy and sticky situations that are not always desirable. [04:56] - Brian shares a past conflict management failure when as a Scrum Master, he inadequately handled a conflict between two team members, leading to a breakdown in communication and a loss of mutual respect. [09:15] - The need for Scrum Masters to develop corporate counselor skills, such as emotional intelligence and empathy, to effectively counsel and navigate conflicts within teams. [10:44] - Rational vs. Emotional conflict and the importance of shifting the focus back to the rational side for productive conflict resolution. [12:15] - Brian shares the difference between constructive and destructive conflict and the signs of each. [13:34] - The three types of conflicts in a team: task, relationship, and process conflicts and why it’s vital to understand the differences between these types of conflicts in order to navigate them effectively. [16:20] - Mountain Goat Software has designed our Scrum Certification classes to combine the best learning with the best engagement. If you want to see it in action, check out our training pages at Mountain Goat Software today. [17:22] - Each person has a default way of responding to conflict. You can identify your own response style using the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI) framework which divides responses into five categories: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. [18:32] - Competing involves prioritizing one's own position but it can be justifiable in certain situations. [19:55] - Collaborating aims for win-win solutions through creative problem-solving, especially in scenarios with conflicting preferences. [21:01] - The third C offers an acceptable solution that satisfies both individual's concerns. [21:34] - Avoiding, marked by its unassertive and uncooperative nature, ultimately striving to sweep the conflict under the rug. [22;42] - Accommodating prioritizes the relationship above all else, willingly setting aside one's own stance to adopt the opposing point of view. [23:40] - Your default conflict resolution approach isn't necessarily bad; it can be effective in certain situations. Brian offers tips for recognizing and responding to these approaches in conflict situations. [25:08] - Psychological safety in a team is vital for healthy conflict resolution. Brian explains what that means and how to build it within your team. [28:10] - How team agreements can help prevent conflicts from turning destructive. [28:40] - Putting ground rules in place on your team so that when conflict occurs, you can navigate it successfully. [30:42] - Facilitative listening helps address problems without attacking personalities. Brian shares his techniques to assist others in hearing. Legitimizing differences by acknowledging and validating opposing viewpoints can help resolve conflicts within a team. [32:29] - Overlooking human dynamics can lead to team failure but legitimizing differences helps everyone feel safe and heard.

"You don't build consensus around what people think. You build consensus around why they think it." ~Terrence Metz Chances are good that you’ve got a meeting scheduled today. Assuming that it starts on time, how many of Terrence Metz’s eight meeting killers will your team slay before agendas are abandoned, egos bruised, and goals sidelined? As managing director of MG Rush Facilitation Training and Coaching, Terrence has built a career helping businesses and organizations conduct faster, more productive meetings. His insights could revolutionize your next meeting and promote higher-quality outcomes.   “We would be better off running more workshops and having fewer meetings,” says Terrence of the stagnation prevalent in meeting culture today. He notes that once-productive sessions have devolved into little more than discussions. “The problem is most people can't get prepared well enough to know what they would do in a workshop environment. They use meetings to lift the fog high enough that they can figure out what they should do until the next meeting, and that's quite dastardly.” It’s no wonder that businesses and organizations waste precious energy trying to reach consensus when a majority of the decision-makers don’t even have time to adequately prepare. Things rapidly disintegrate from there, often at the expense of the end goal which, in Terrence’s view, is the only reason to have a meeting in the first place. “Know what done looks like,” he says and work backward from there. *** Distribution Talk is produced by The Distribution Team, a consulting services firm dedicated to helping wholesale distribution clients remove barriers to profitability, generate wealth and achieve personal goals.    http://www.distributionteam.com This episode was edited & mixed by The Creative Impostor Studios.

But they don't have to agree it's their favorite [decision]. They have to agree the resolution is robust enough that they will personally support it, that they will not fault it and try to unravel it.” It’s a level of understanding born from years of observing group dynamics and successfully coaching participants toward a common goal. And, yes, he’s facilitated consensus-building across the great generational working divide. The key, he says, is for facilitators to acknowledge the diversity in the room. That’s where younger decision-makers have the edge, Terrence says. Gens Y and Z are generally more willing to accept a broader range of individual working styles within the confines of a team goal than their older counterparts.

Certainly we think we know the right questions to get the data we think we need. But sometimes our questions miss the unconscious drivers, and the incomplete data we collect as a result skews our outcomes. Or we unwittingly cause resistance even when our solutions are important and well-conceived.
