THE DIGGING STAGE

EMPATHY MAPPING Empathy is a source of information

We are interested in designing an annual leadership learning plan for our very junior supervisors

EMPATHY MAPPING

What is she feeling

What is she thinking?

Excited Mixed emotions Anxious Curious Important – Valued Ambitious Proud Overwhelmed Confused

How is she behaving? Asking in HR office what programs we have Reflecting on last year Talking to others Asking opinions form colleagues for my learning What are your thoughts? Getting to know everyone to prepare for the plan How am I going to acquire knowledge? How am I going to be supported from my leaders? How am I going to supervise my team? What are the things that enables performance? What are the milestones I need to go through? Will I be able to achieve it? How do I secure it?

What is she expecting? Support from managers A program that is personalised (focused on me) Resources Timeframe Accomplishment – the things in the plan will be done Achievement – success

CREATIVE ABRASION

CREATIVE ABRASION

ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE IS MORE EFFECTIVE WHEN IT IS DRIVEN BY MID-MANAGERS THAT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO INFLUENCE FRONT LINE TEAMS AND TOP LEADERS. THIS WAY IS MORE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE REAL ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE IS IMPLEMENTED BY MID- MANAGERS AS THEY HAVE MORE PRESENCE IN THE OPERATIONS

CHANGE IN ORGANISATIONS MUST BE DRIVEN BY TOP LEADERS. THOSE WHO ARE AT THE TOP OF HIERARCHY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO IDENTIFY, PLAN AND IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES THAT AN ORGANISATION NEEDS TO GO THROUGH

CREATIVITE ABRASION

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING DEVELOPMENT PLANS SHOULD BE DESIGNED BY THE EMPLOYEE. HE NEEDS TO DECIDE BY HIMSELF THE AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT AND THEN ACT UPON IT. MANAGERS ARE NOT THERE TO FOLLOW UP BUT RATHER TO FACILITATE ADVICE

LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO DESIGN THE INDIVIDUAL LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THEIR TEAM MAMBERS. THEY MUST HOLD THE TEAMS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PROGRESS AND ENHANCEMENT OF PERFORMANCE
