Collaborative Leadership

Following on from The Foundations of Facilitation we offer an eight month on-going training programme, Collaborative Leadership. This programme begins with the three day course People, Systems and Change, followed by a series of monthly meetings that allow consolidation of practice and learning. The programme culminates with a four day course, Group Dynamics and Leadership. This final course further develops participants’ capacity and functioning with groups, and enables them to produce effective relationships and outcomes in those groups with which they interact.

FIRST COURSE in the Collaborative Leadership programme: People, Systems and Change

This course looks closely at the role of facilitators within organisational contexts. Organisations of all types are made up of people who exist and work together. They form a system of human relationships and it is this system through which results are achieved. Human relationships are not walled off within organisations. Rather, relationship networks permeate organisational boundaries and thus organisations are themselves aspects of a larger social system.

People, Systems and Change explores the relationship of the individual to the system and how to create collaborative and collegial relationships. It provides the tool kit and mental models to undertake systemic diagnosis, intervention design and change planning.

SECOND COURSE in the Collaborative Leadership programme: Group Dynamics and Leadership

This is an intensive professional and personal skill development training course. The goal of this programme is to assist the participants to develop the capacity to work with group participants in the present moment, paying attention to the natural rhythms of the group to generate effectiveness, and personal authority.

While we humans observe and count separate selves, and pay a great deal of attention of the differences that seem to divide us, in fact we survive only as we learn how to participate in a web of relationships. – Margaret Wheatley, Leadership and the New Science

This course examines role development and theory, and how it relates to facilitation. It develops participants’ capacity and functioning with groups, and enables them to produce effective relationships and outcomes in those groups with which they interact.
