How can today's leaders excel in an environment that demands quick action, agility, and effective team development all at once? The key is creating a system of coaching and feedback based on fluid observation and evaluation. We will delve into goal-setting frameworks like V2MOMs and OKRs, which are methodologies designed to set objectives and track organizational performance, facilitating goal alignment among teams. Each can be used at the company, business unit, department, team, or individual level. In-class workshops and exercises will emphasize effective feedback delivery at the individual level, using principles from nonviolent communication, conflict mediation, and psychology. Evoking Stephen Jay Gould's analogy "Long-term success is a distant punt receiver evading legions of would-be tacklers in an oddly zigzagged path toward a goal, not a horse thundering down the flat," this course will prepare you to navigate challenges as a team and guide others in the journey.
This course is geared toward those who have taken BUS 86: "The Mindful Manager: Navigating Workplace Conflict and Hard Conversations" or a comparable course.
