DESCRIPTION

These conversation guides provide people a way to talk about the complexity of their organization in a practical, proactive manner. Approach each guide by asking questions. What are our ideas? How are our relationships? Is our purpose aligned with our structure? Questions like these get to the root issues that organization need to address. These are tools for leaders to have a more effective conversation with people about the changes that are needed, and the transition that they are in as an organization.

The Circle of Impact Leadership Guides

The following pages are Conversation Guides.

They are not formulas, but perspectives that provide people a way to look at their

purpose, mission, values, vision for impact, their relationships, social networks,

their organization’s structure, governance, programs, operations, resources, and,

ultimately the impact of the leadership of their life and work.

Each of these guides has been developed in conversation with people. That

conversation continues. If you have questions or suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

1. TRANSITION, NOT CHANGE: Every person and organization is in transition from what they once were to what they will be. We experience this

transition as change. We see it as performance plateaus and decline. It requires us to change.

2. TRANSITION POINTS: What these Transition Points (T) show us is that what created growth at one stage may not at the next.

Sustainability is the result of growth, not trying to remain at the same level. To grow requires us to make changes.

3. CREATING IMPACT THROUGH TRANSITION POINTS: People manage Transition Points (T) by initiating change to create impact. People do this through the Three

Dimensions of Life & Work - Ideas, Relationships and Social & Organizational Settings. These three dimensions

form the Circle of Impact where growth occurs.

4. FIVE QUESTIONS EVERY PERSON MUST ASK: To Initiate change at a Transition Point, Ask The FIVE IMPACT QUESTIONS.

1. How am I in Transition? What has Changed?

2. What is My Impact

3. Who have I Impacted?

4. What Opportunities Do I Now Have?

5. What Problems Have I Created?
