May 5 – The Five (Simple) Practices of Exemplary Leadership
Facilitators: Cathy Raines and Jing Burgi-Tian
The Leadership Challenge by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner is 25 years old. The book has sold millions of copies, generated hundreds of research projects, and has been translated into many languages.
In this session, we’ll explore the five practices that the book and research describes:
– Model the Way
– Inspire a Shared Vision
– Challenge the Process
– Enable Others to Act
– Encourage the Heart
The model considers leaders to be anyone rather than leadership as a position, though it recognizes the responsibilities that positional leaders hold. It includes a customized 360 called The Leadership Practices Inventory.
The session will be designed for everyone to participate. For those with experience with the model, please plan to add your experience and wisdom.

June 2 – Doing the OD Tango: Supporting Sustainable Change in Healthcare Using Multiple Roles and Strategies
Facilitator: Kevin Nourse
As OD professionals, we often face the challenge of supporting organizational change efforts. To support successful change efforts, it is often critical to intervene at multiple levels including individual leaders, leadership teams, and the larger organizational context. Helping senior leadership teams become more effective and aligned can pay huge dividends in the overall success of a change initiative. Organizational change initiatives are often laden with unanticipated surprises calling forth a need for OD professionals to be nimble in wearing multiple hats to support our clients.
In this session, Dr. Kevin Nourse will share a case study of a leadership team in a large healthcare institution he is currently working with as a team coach, team facilitator, team builder, trainer, executive coach, and team diagnostician. The session will be interactive and provide many opportunities for dialogue and discussion.
Participants will achieve the following outcomes:
– Distinctions between team coaching, team building, and team facilitation.
– Strategies for building trust and alignment.
– Insights on a using a team functioning assessment and conflict styles indicator.
– Understanding of how to conduct a team coaching engagement
