WHAT: CEO Tools Workshop
TITLE: Heroic Leadership is Dead: Long Live the Team!
WHERE: Tacoma Pierce County Chamber, Tacoma
Marshall Goldsmith’s powerful statement, “What got you here, won’t get you there” rings true now more than ever. Because we live in a complex and comprehensive world, entirely new rules of engagement are needed in order to sustain your company’s competitive advantage.
As a C-Suite Executive, you can no longer be the “Hero”, also known as the “Expert”, “Chief Problem Solver” or “Do-er”. To build an effective team culture, developing the “next wave of leaders” is important as you become the catalyst for change, invigorating and empowering your teams and company to become resilient, adaptable and co-responsible. The two approaches we will explore in this workshop are how to build a high trust environment and use conflict as a creative tool for change and growth.
Using a “Team of Teams” structural approach, Shannon Bruce will show you how to change both your role and your company culture by developing a high level of Conversational Intelligence™, also known as CI-Q™. Applying the practical skills of CI-Q™, Shannon will equip you to align your organization around shared vision, to increase engagement and empower execution. The end result will be quality conversations for you and your teams that enhance both relationships and results for sustainable high performance.
Please read our Q&A with presenter Shannon Bruce where she offers more insight about the upcoming workshop.

QUESTIONS THE CEO SHOULD BE ASKING
Our current tendency in organizations is to create functional silos by department.
– What impact (postive or negative) do you see silos having on building a healthy team environment?
– What impact (positive or negative) do silos have on trust and conflict handling in your organization?
– What, if any, burdens do you feel as a leader because of silos in your company?
Vision is the “why” that keeps you and your organization focused, inspired and moving toward an ideal future.
– How clear is your vision?
– What’s the vision that keeps you going when it gets difficult?
– What do you desire for yourself as a leader?
– What’s the vision you have for other leaders and teams within your company?
PREPARATION
1. Reflect upon the “Questions the CEO Should Be Asking” and come prepared to share your thoughts.
2. Choose who will attend the Workshop with you (Either another Executive Team Member or your HR Director) and provide the person’s name and e-mail address to [email protected] by 2/29/16.
3. You and your Workshop Attendee will complete independently: – Assessment on “Leadership Behaviors Vital to Building Trust and Embracing Conflict”
– 3 Questions following the Assessment
– Assessment and Answers will be brought to the Workshop Note: See separate handout for this assessment and questions.
4. Take 12 minutes to watch the following videos and come with your questions and insights:
– Team of Teams – This will provide you with insights around a new type of organizational structure.
– Conversational Intelligence™ – This will provide you with a picture of “possibility” around conversations based on CI-Q™. The context is in a school environment so you will need to imagine what could be possible in a business environment.
