Uniting Towards a Common Goal: From Clash to Compromise ~ with Chris Lewis

Uniting Towards a Common Goal: From Clash to Compromise

with Chris Lewis      

This purpose of this workshop is to provide participants with a toolkit to harness organizational tension as a capability and not a hindrance. In this dynamic workshop, participants will learn to navigate and leverage the natural polarities within their organizations, transforming potential conflicts into innovative solutions. 

Key Objectives:

• Understand and Identify Polarities: Participants will use polarity mapping to visually capture the benefits and challenges of remote versus in-office work, identifying the underlying tensions that impact team dynamics.
• Embrace and Process Tensions: Through interactive exercises, attendees will apply facilitation techniques to equip them to engage in open, productive dialogues where diverse viewpoints are not only heard but valued.
• Implement Both/And Thinking: We will explore how to move beyond either/or solutions by developing a hybrid work model that incorporates the strengths of both remote and in-office arrangements, ensuring flexibility and collaboration coexist.
• Iterate and Improve: The workshop will emphasize the importance of continuous feedback and adjustment to refine work policies in response to changing team needs and organizational goals.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Participants will walk away with a framework for tackling organizational challenges that do not have a single "solution"

2. Participants will gain experience on how to apply the framework

3. Participants will add to their toolkit for effective negotiation
