The Leadership Advance in Waterton this week focused on “Accountability: The Foundation for Building a Culture of Trust and Respect”. The following quote from the presentation should help to give you a sense of the discussions:
Characteristics of an Accountable Culture
- Clear vision and priorities for the organization
- Shared ownership for achieving them
- Conflicts are surfaced and resolved productively
- Effective performance execution: The qualities of cooperation, coordination, communication, decision making and actions necessary to achieve them
- Regular recognition
- Performance measurement
We spent time discussing the following questions, and ended the second day by developing action plans for each one:
1. How can we create an environment that fosters greater trust and respect with our internal stakeholders?
2. How can we create an environment that fosters greater collaboration at the College?
3. How can we provide greater leadership and more effective recognition to individuals and teams at the College?
4. How would we describe the organizational culture we desire at Lethbridge College?
The overall tone was positive, although there is a sense of “we have lots of work to do”. I’ll share the notes from the discussion when I receive them, likely at our next EET meeting.
