• Facilitating and Managing the Transitional Process:
Transition is about change and now, more than ever, organizations and groups find themselves amidst intense change. During intense times of change organizations are tested and often pushed to their limits. Purpose often gets lost and people become stuck, trapped, and dysfunctional. Exercising leadership is critical, yet people in authority struggle to mobilize their group, and are often under pressure and scrutiny. Employees and stakeholders rely on leadership that facilitates that process and provides a clear vision for the future.
The Lotus Leadership Institute can assist you and your organization or group with the transitional process, making sure change is managed and leadership is effectively exercised for optimal efficiency and optimum results.
• Achieving Organizational Purpose
Whether your organization needs to create or strengthen a mission statement, work on strategic planning, or solve a lingering business problem or issue—there are many facets to organizational life that can derail groups and organizations from their purpose and impede productivity and Lotus Leadership Institute can help.
We examine how the transitional processes and authority dynamics might be impeding your organizational success. Lotus Leadership Institute specializes in purpose-based consulting, an approach to organizational effectiveness that focuses on facilitating change, and creating a lasting culture of learning and leadership throughout the organization.
• Group Dynamics and Team Effectiveness
Most of what we do today we do in groups and teams. Group dynamics and interpersonal relations affect all aspects of an organization from employee satisfaction and retention to productivity and organizational culture. Clarifying roles, addressing conflicts, and building team purpose are skills that everyone in the organization should have.
The Lotus Leadership Institute Group Dynamics Curriculum builds those skills for people in all levels of the organization from entry-level employees to the Executive officers.
• Effective Gender Relations
With the increase of women receiving high-level positions in organizations, the gender dynamic becomes an important one for organizational productivity and culture. Conflicts and tensions often surface when people do not understand the dynamics of interpersonal relations. This includes the tension around authority and power dynamics, especially considering the different expressions of power and authority that women and men exhibit.
The Lotus Leadership Institute team of leading professionals helps to effectively navigate these tensions and improve the conditions of your organization through improving the gender relations. Training and development includes improving skills of speaking and listening, tolerating and understanding difference, managing conflict across gender lines, and enhancing the connection around differing perspectives to enhance productivity.
• Executive Authority Development
The highest standard of leadership is expected out of those in authority roles. Executives, VP’s, senior-level administration, and high potential leaders often have their own skills and strategies, but need to go beyond the leadership “basics” and develop a comprehensive understanding of how to address current complex challenges. These are the people in critical roles in their organization, people with the power to influence others and inspire change.
The Lotus Leadership Institute curriculum goes beyond the basics to give those at the top the needed edge for successful results.
• Personal Adult Development
Better people make better leaders. There is much research to support the need for continued personal development into adult life, and current research is relating levels of adult development to leadership capacity. In understanding your own assumptions, behavioral tendencies, and thought processes, you have the opportunity to develop them and improve the person you are, essentially, making yourself a better person.
Our experienced and trained professionals at the Lotus Leadership Institute firmly believe that to develop the skill, you must develop the self. Adult development is leadership development and our experts have created a unique and lasting approach to developing both.
• Navigating the Labyrinth
It has been suggested that women don’t need to break a glass ceiling; they need to find their way through the labyrinth that stands between themselves and the organizational position they desire. Balancing motherhood, domestic responsibilities, social expectations and limitations, and many structural components within organizations, it is a big challenge for women to work their way up the organizational ladder.
Lotus Leadership specializes in developing women’s leadership and improving women’s capacity for effectively managing the many transitional processes in women’s lives.
