Don’t Take On The Move If The Move Isn’t Yours

THAT MONKEY DOESN’T

BELONG TO YOU!

The SPF/SIG has a number of pieces to it

Although the Strategic Prevention Framework is a collaborative process as coordinators you will be the ones responsible for the completion of the steps

The purpose of this training is to help you find ways to make decision-making a collaborative process

LET’S BE CLEAR

The goal of the training is to give you tolls to expand the capacity of your project by engaging your partners in meaningful ways.

It is not the intent of this training to have any of you supervise others or make others responsible for the project.

LET’S BE CLEAR

COORDINATION ISN’T AS EASY AS IT LOOKS

ASSEMBLY LINE ACTIVITY #1

Why do coordinators run out of time while stakeholders run out

of work?

QUESTION

THE PROBLEM IS…..MONKEYS

The Problem

is…MONKEYS

A MONKEY IS THE NEXT MOVE

For Every Monkey There Are Two Parties Involved:

One To Work It And

One To Oversee It

REMEMBER:

All The Monkeys Together Make Your Successful Project.

Who Do You Want To Share In That Success?

When You Pick Up A Monkey That Someone Else Could

Handle, You Give The Message That You WANT The

Monkeys!

When You Pick Up A Monkey That Someone Else Could Handle, You Give The Message That

ONCKEN’S RULES OF MONKEY MANAGEMENT

LET’S MANAGE SOME MONKEYS

The Monkey is NOT the problem or the project! It is simply the next move.

REMEMBER

Rule 1 means: The parties involved shall not part company

until the appropriate “next moves” have been described.

DESCRIPTION

Examples would be: Complete Community Readiness Surveys with…

Invite three people to the next meeting

Give this matter further thought

DESCRIPTION

What is your project or problem?What Monkeys can you think of that need to be doneMONKEY WALK

LET’S PRACTICE

Rule 2 means: The dialogue between the

parties involved must not end until ownership of

each monkey is assigned to a person.

parties involved must not end until the monkey has a

checkup appointment

FEEDING AND CHECK-UPS

Check-ups are important because:Lower your anxiety Increases our partners competence through capacity building

Coaching increases the odds that you will be able to delegate to your partners in the future

FEEDING AND CHECK-UPS

The More You Get Rid of Your Partners Monkeys

The More Time You Have For Your Partners
