TRIPLE IMPACT LEADERSHIP
A CHANGE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS

with Edie Seashore and Michael Broom, renowned organization psychologists

Triple Impact Leadership is a program designed for organization–wide impact. It takes small leadership teams of the same organization on a journey during which they will learn to (1) use themselves individually and collectively in such a manner that they will (2) positively impact the people they work with, who, in turn, will (3) positively and powerfully impact the folks that they work with to increase productivity and create other change as desired—thus Triple Impact Leadership. In its public version the program is known as Practitioners Program for Organization Development and Change Management.These programs are unique in their emphasis on development of real skills that are immediately useful and the sense of personal and organizational transformation that many experience.

THE GOALS and CONTENT

1. To support leadership teams to identify systemic changes and changes in the organization’s culture that are needed to more effectively and efficiently achieve key strategic goals.

2. To provide the executive leadership team with the skills needed to manage and create systemic and organization culture change as needed. These skills are laid out in the Meta-Model of Planned Change (see at the end), which offers a conceptual template of the program.

Significant emphasis will be placed on the eight "Disciplines of Planned Change" which include the following:

• Conscious Use of Self
• Thinking Systemically
• Sound and Current Data
• Feedback
• Infinite Power
• Learning from Differences
• Empowerment
• Support Systems


Emphasis will also be placed on the five iterative "Stages of Planned Change" which include Contracting, Data gathering, Intervention, Evaluation, and Disengagement.

The participants will learn to apply both to the "Levels of Human Systems:" Personal, Interpersonal, Group, and Organization.

This content has resulted from the staffs´ years at Johns Hopkins University and American University and their Practitioners Program from which Triple Impact Leadership has been modelled.

3. To enhance the team dynamics of the leadership team including their communication, collaboration, and conflict management dynamics.

THE FORMAT

Triple Impact Leadership is a ten-day program starting with two consecutive days followed by one day a month for the following nine months. The first half of each day focuses on deepening our understanding of one or more of the principles while each afternoon is dedicated to applying the principles to the current situations of each participant´ .

On-line. In between meetings the program will continue on-line in a fascinating format that deepens skill application while developing a strong support network. This aspect of the program may take a couple of hours a week while more time creates greater learning.

One-on-one coaching is another significant component of the program available to those who request it.

THE PARTICIPANTS

The program has been intentionally designed for groups of leaders that are deeply involved in creating and managing change in their organizations or communities.
