Strategies to develop buy-in for the lean journey
Coaching and communication strategies/techniques for moving a leader from resistance to action; change management; motivational interviewing skills; work in small teams to practice demonstrated techniques.
Hear, discuss and practice strategies and techniques designed for coaching/counseling a leader who is not ready to change or be changed. Focus on the first three stages of behavioral change, starting with pre-contemplation. Learn how people in pre-contemplation have no intention of changing their behavior – possibly viewed as problematic by external observers – in the foreseeable future. Hear how these individuals, often labeled as resistant or in denial, may not see their behavior as a challenge. Then learn about contemplation, when a person is aware a problem exists and seriously considers action, but has not made a commitment to action. Gain insights about preparation, when an individual intends to take action soon and reports steps in that direction. Learn how this stage is a combination of behavioral actions and intentions. Benefit from discussion and demonstration of these concepts and techniques. Work in small teams, practicing the coaching and communication techniques that have been demonstrated, such as motivational interviewing skills that enable identification of the coachee’s behavioral characteristics. Discover effective ways to move a leader from resistance to acceptance and action. Learn when it is most effective to counsel, coach and instruct.
