MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
|
"Pre-meeting
clinic"
|
 |
Many years ago we held two
meetings in one. We had a pre-meeting or technical clinic that
usually was a discussion or technical presentation of some detailed aspect
of a quality tool or method. The clinic helped our members because
it not only gives them more reason to attend meetings and participate as a
member but those that attend also get more points toward maintaining their
certifications. After the pre-meeting we would eat dinner and then
hold our main meeting.
This month we are planning to
try that concept again with Ron Sedlock giving a short 15-20 minute
pre-meeting explaining his article outlining his novel idea for audit
planning that was published in this month's Quality Progress
magazine. You
can download that article here (small pdf file; free reader link at
the bottom of this page).
Let us know if you think this
is a concept (pre-meetings) that we should continue and or what you think
we might improve on to make it something we should continue.

This Month's Meeting
Abstract
In this informative and entertaining presentation, Dr. Nelson Zagalsky, an
Integral Coach and former corporate executive, shows how leaders can become
as effective in dealing with management and leadership challenges at age
thirty as they normally would only become at age fifty. His thesis is that a
holistic behavioral coaching approach can achieve such turbocharged
acceleration by removing the braking action of personality rooted
problematic behaviors and the foundational competency gaps that one never
quite got right in their first pass through Human Being 101. These include
such competencies as emotional awareness and relational skills.
While technically trained leaders are stereotypically recognized to be
especially deficient in these competency areas, the reality is that many
trained in business or the liberal arts have similarly failed to completely
master the content of Human Being 101. He believes that unless this is
addressed in a proactive way as part of a leadership development program,
before the weight of the executive’s management and leadership
responsibilities start to overload their foundation, it often may need to be
addressed later as part of a remedial coaching program. The success rate for
such remedial coaching efforts is far less than coaching in advance of the
need.
This engaging and interactive presentation will have the audience deeply
engaged in looking at their Enneagram personality styles, reflecting on
their possible stereotypical problematic behaviors, and learning about how
those problematic behaviors and incomplete satisfaction of all of their
Human Being 101 certificate requirements might slow development of effective
leaders.
It will conclude with a coaching case study that includes a description of
practices that the audience can self-apply to help deal with a very common
leadership challenge; avoiding being overwhelmed by multiple stakeholder
demands. The audience will also leave with the ability to identify coaching
opportunities, and how they might include coaching as a component of their
talent and leadership development process. They will also learn about a
website where they can read about practices that are known to be helpful for
advancing personal development within their particular personality style.
