Leadership and Management Course Facilitator Guide


Session 1.2: Developing Core Values 81
Slide 7
FACILITATE a brief discussion on values-
based leadership.
ASK participants:
Think of a time when you needed to act
in a situation where you had a different
viewpoint from others.
What was important to you in the
situation?
What values did you hold that made it so
important to you?
What did the other people value?
How could all these values have affected
your actions?
ALLOW a few participants to share.

SUMMARISE by stating that our core


values impact the way we react to different
situations, and go to the next slide.
Slide 8

PRESENT slide using the following points:


Successful leaders know and understand
their values and the beliefs that sustain
them.
They are aware of the way in which their
behaviour reflects their values, and they
intervene when this is not the case by
either adjusting their values or changing
their behaviour.
Acting on your values can
sometimes pose challenges.
Your actions can sometimes fulfill
some values, but not others. You
may have to consider which are
most important to you.
To lead, you need to take a critical look
at the values that influence your actions.
This will anchor your leadership,
influence how you lead, and build trust
from your colleagues.

Slide 9

PRESENT the slide, using the following


points.
There are some personal qualities that
are highly valued in leaders.
These qualities include integrity and
commitment, respect and trust, healthy
risk-taking, and openness to learning.
INFORM participants that we will explore
each of these in further detail.

Leadership and Management Course Facilitator Guide


Session 1.2: Developing Core Values 85
Slide 10
ASK participants:
What do we mean by integrity and
commitment?
Why are integrity and commitment
important for effective leadership?
ALLOW a few moments for discussion.

REVIEW main points:


While people can achieve results
without integrity, those who are able to
build long-term relationships of mutual
trust generally value integrity in
themselves and others.
People respect leaders for their ethics
and personal commitment. When you
are honest and ethical, you are credible
to others
If you strongly believe in serving a
greater good, you can often avoid the
temptations that come with power. When
you dedicate yourself to achieving a
goal, you attract others with similar
commitment to work with you in
creating a better future
Though no one is perfect, good leaders
strive to have their words and actions
match their values and aspirations.

Slide 11
ASK participants:
How do respect and trust apply to
leadership?
Can trust be mandated? How does trust
develop?
ALLOW a few moments for discussion.

REINFORCE participant responses using


the points below:
Strong working relationships are the
foundation for achieving results.
You need to continually nurture existing
work relationships and create new ones.
Respecting others means being willing
to listen to their points of view and their
needs.
Respect builds trust over time, and trust
is the foundation for developing
productive relationships.
When you lead, you nurture respectful
work relationships with your
subordinates, colleagues, and superiors.
You create new connections to broaden
your own network and mend existing
relations that are problematic.

Slide 12
ASK participants:
What is meant by calculated risks? or
healthy risks?
Why is this important?
ALLOW a few moments for discussion.

ASK participants:
What makes risk-taking difficult? What
can make risk-taking easier?
ALLOW a few moments for discussion.

REVIEW main points below:


One job of leaders is to set an example
for taking calculated risks that do not
endanger the organization, its mission,
or individuals.
People who lead do not give up if they
fall down. They get up, dust themselves
off, and find the courage to re-engage.
In their persistence they never lose sight
of the positive future they are trying to
create.
As you learn about the challenges your
organization or work group faces, you
need to take risks to address some of
these challenges and make needed
changes.
When you create networks of trusting
relationships, you find support and
courage to take necessary chances, make
tough decisions, and face criticism or
personal failure. By example, you
encourage others to take risks as well.

Slide 13
ASK participants:
How does being open to learning apply
to leadership?
How can it help a workgroup or team?
ALLOW a few moments for discussion.

REVIEW main points below:


Good leaders are committed to
continually learning and encouraging
others to do the same.
When you have an open mind, you are
eager for knowledge and information.
You recognize new opportunities and
find ways to deal with obstacles. You
initiate approaches to learning with
others. This openness to learning
prepares you for ever-changing realities.
ASK if participants have any additional
questions or comments.

EXPLAIN that:
Together, we have modeled a great way
to begin developing a shared vision.

Session 1.2: Developing Core Values 94
Trainer Tool 1.2.1: Activity Creating a Shared Vision

Time: 1 hour

Purpose of Activity: This activity provides an opportunity for participants to work together
in a shared visioning exercise. After participating in this exercise, participants can re-create
this activity within their workgroups and organizations.

Notes:
This activity works best if participants can draw on their own professional experiences
and work with their colleagues to create a vision for their own organization. However, the
workshop may include participants from many different organizations, resource centres,
and institutions. It may be helpful to create a scenario for a fictional organization. (For
example, Lets imagine that we are all working within a health training institution that
provides pre-service training for Clinical Assistants and Clinical Officers.)
The process of creating a shared vision is divided into 5 steps. Trainers may choose to
omit Step 5 during this workshop.

Introduction

INTRODUCE the activity:


A shared vision is a critical component of an effective team and of an effective
organization.
This activity will give us an opportunity to work in teams to create a shared vision.
You can use a similar process to create a shared vision within your own team or
organization after this training.

EXPLAIN that:
This activity is intended to model a shared vision activity. It is only an introduction. After
this workshop, you will work together to create a more well thought-out vision one that
you can all fully commit to.

DIVIDE participants into small groups, based on their workgroup/organization (if possible).
This activity begins with individual work, then pairs, then small group work, and finishes
with large group work.

INFORM participants:
We are going to create a shared vision. This is the picture of what we want to create in
the future together. We are not going to discuss the obstacles now, but what we most want
to see happen.

Continued on next page.

Leadership and Management Course Facilitator Guide


Session 1.2: Developing Core Values 95
Step 1: Imagine the Future

ASK participants to begin by reflecting individually.


Think about a time in the future. Imagine it is two or more years from now and we are
looking back. We have accomplished all that is important to us. What picture do you see
in your mind that represents that accomplishment?

ALLOW a moment for participants to reflect on their own.

ASK each participant to write a newspaper headline reporting on their groups


accomplishments in the year 20__ (whichever year is two or more years from now). Each
individual should write a statement to describe what she or he is most proud of.

Step 2: Integrate your vision with a colleagues vision

DIVIDE participants into pairs (or groups of 3), reflecting their workgroup.
Each person should share their vision, and the pair should work together to create a
shared vision statement that reflects the best aspects of both.

Step 3: Record key elements of all vision statements

ASK the pairs to match up with another pair (to create a group of 4), staying in their
workgroups if possible.
The small groups of 4 should compare the two vision statements, and discuss the
combined visions. Next, the group of 4 should work again to combine their 2 vision
statements into a shared vision statement.

DISTRIBUTE 6-8 slips of paper or self-stick notes to each group.

ASK each group to record the key elements or phrases of their vision statement on a card.
(One element or key phrase per card.)

Step 4: Prioritize the elements of the vision statements in a large group


ASK Group 1 to place their cards on the wall (or on flipcharts), with some space between the
cards.

ASK Group 2 to follow, placing their cards with similar elements near Group 1s.
For example, if both groups have quality as a key element, Group 2 should place their
card stating quality in the same place as Group 1s.

If a card does not fit with any other groups cards, it stands alone.

Continue this process (Group 3, Group 4, etc.) until all cards are on the wall.

When all cards have been posted, ASK participants to come up to the wall and move the
cards around, grouping similar messages and phrases together until they are arranged into
categories. The goal is to eliminate overlaps/duplicates, and consolidate the elements. For
example, all the cards related to serving clients should be in one category. Note: this part of

Leadership and Management Course Facilitator Guide


Session 1.2: Developing Core Values 96
the activity can also be done in plenary, with participants suggesting how things should be moved and
a few volunteers moving cards.

ASK participants to suggest a name for each category, and write the names on a card and post
it above each group. (Note: if possible, this should be on a different coloured card.)

ASK a volunteer to read all of the categories aloud.


Note: If there are many categories, it may be necessary for participants to vote on the top 3
categories to simplify the vision statement.

Step 5: Synthesize and present the vision statement.


Note: completing Step 5 during the Leadership and Management Course is optional. Since
participants represent different organizations and workgroups, it may be more useful to
explain how the exercise should end, without actually spending any additional training time
on drafting and presenting the shared vision statement.

EXPLAIN to participants that at this stage, a small team should synthesize the messages that
pertain to each category, and draft a statement that reflects the shared vision. Remind
participants that the statement should retain the pride and feeling that the vision expresses.

De-Brief the Activity


EXPLAIN to participants that we have modeled the first steps towards articulating a shared
vision statement.

After working with a group to generate ideas, the next steps in creating a shared vision
statement with your team can proceed as follows:
A small team should synthesize the messages that pertain to each category, and draft a
statement that reflects the shared vision. Remind participants that the statement should
retain the pride and feeling that the vision expresses.
The draft statement should be presented to the entire group, and the small team should
solicit input for refining and fine-tuning.
The team should establish a plan and timeline for finalizing the vision statement, and
follow-through.

ASK participants:
Are you comfortable using an activity like this with your own teams?
What challenges do you anticipate?
How might this process be useful for your team?

FACILITATE a brief discussion.

THANK everyone for participating.

Handout 1.2.2: Facilitating a Shared Vision Exercise

Instructions
Use the following instructions to help facilitate a shared vision exercise with your team.

Creating a shared vision is a process of asking our teams:


What are we committed to doing? Who do we serve now and who do we want to serve?
What kind of work climate do we want, and what values do we want to practice?
What sort of future do we want to create for our community?

Introduction

EXPLAIN that sharing a vision is a critical component of an


effective team and even of an organization.

INTRODUCE this exercise an opportunity to work in teams on


a shared vision.

EXPLAIN that:
For this exercise, you will work in your teams/workgroups.
This is an introduction exercise.
After this workshop, you will work together to create a more
well thought-out vision one that you can all fully commit to.

ASK participants to rearrange themselves in the room so that they are sitting with their
workgroup.

INFORM participants,
We are going to create a shared vision. This is the picture of what we want to create in
the future together. We are not going to discuss the obstacles now, but what we most want
to see happen.

Step 1: Imagine the Future

ASK participants to begin by reflecting individually.

years from now). Each individual should write a statement to describe what
she or he is most proud of.

Leadership and Management Course Facilitator Guide


Session 1.2: Developing Core Values 99
Step 2: Integrate your vision with a colleagues vision

DIVIDE participants into pairs (or groups of 3 if there is an odd number), reflecting their
workgroup.
Each person should share their vision, and the pair should work together to create a
shared vision statement that reflects the best aspects of both.

Step 3: Record key elements of all vision statements

ASK the pairs to match up with another pair (to create a group of 4), staying
in their workgroups if possible.
The small groups of 4 should compare the two vision statements, and
discuss the combined visions. Next, the group of 4 should work again to
combine their 2 vision statements into a shared vision statement.

DISTRIBUTE 6-8 slips of paper or self-stick notes to each group.

ASK each group to record the key elements or phrases of their vision statement on a card.
(One element or key phrase on each card.)

Step 4: Prioritize the elements of the vision statements in a large group

ASK Group 1 to place their cards on the wall (or on flipcharts), with some space between the
cards.

ASK Group 2 to follow, placing their cards with similar elements near Group 1s.
(For example, if both groups have quality as a key element, Group 2 should place their
card stating quality in the same place as Group 1s.)

If a card does not fit with any other groups cards, it stands alone.

Continue this process (Group 3, Group 4, etc.) until all cards are on the wall.

Step 5: Synthesize and present the vision statement.

SELECT a small team to synthesize the messages that pertain to each category, and draft a
statement that reflects the shared vision. The statement should retain the pride and feeling that
the vision expresses.

The draft statement should be presented to the entire group, and the small team should solicit
input for refining and fine-tuning.

The team should establish a plan and timeline for finalizing the vision statement, and follow-
through.
