Collective Leadership and Change Management - Kāhui Ako Leaders Conference 2019


Collective Leadership and Change Management
Dr Chris Jansen – Leadership Lab

Culture is the product of individual behaviour
Cannot be dictated from the top
Building the capital of people is the way to go

Word association activity (my thoughts)
Change – love it, invigorating, can be scary for some
(2 positive, 1 neutral)

Change Management – can be tricky, everyone in the waka, need the why, the vision, the resourcing etc …
(4 neutral, 1 negative)

People bring their own experiences to the table when we are going through change management

My own approach to leading positive and sustainable change?

Slowly slowly
Listen and listen and listen
Get everyone in the waka before we paddle
Use the Jahavah’s window of consultation if necessary 
Be careful with ensure everyone understands the vision and buys into it
Invest in the resourcing
Build a plan forward that includes the team ideas
Stop along the way and review/recommend
Don’t bring my finished ideas/solutions to the team.   Needs to come from the team.

What strengths to you have as a change leader?
Relational
Solution focused and Problem solver


What strengths do you have to be careful not to overplay (over strength)?

Too much listening?  Too much communicator?
Too much solution giving
Being a problem solver can create dependency
Can be a bit of a people pleaser

Culture eats strategy for lunch …
Cultural buy in first, you can build strategy along the way together if need be

How do we get the culture right?

Engagement, ownership, buy in, intrinsic motivation


1 Taking people together
2 Relational trust
3 Building vision


Kāhui Ako – planning tooi
Culture first on the left and strategy and operational element

Leading Sustainable Change

Wisdom from textbooks and trenches in post-quake Canterbury.

Creata opportunities to …
Foster interaction, shared learning and collective intelligence.   

WAIT – Why am I talking?
Facilitate quality conversations – dialogue not monologue = better solutions and innovation, ownership, motivation and commitment


Expanding your Leadership Repertoire – from Directive Hierachical Leadership to Influence Based Leadership in Networks like Kāhui Ako

Be on the balcony – look over the see yourself and then get in amongst it and put on your dancing shoes

How is leadership changing?
What approach to leadership is emerging and why?

Broadening our leadership bandwidth

Mana Enhancement Project - PD led by Steve and James

Mana Enhancement Model A tool for Positive Behaviour Management Uses narrative and stories of Māori creation to understand the student's mana and to feed into the strengths of students.   Maui is a key figure.  Mana is central in the model. See more information below about Mana Enhancement from Steve's slideshow Papatuanuku (earth mother) - what nurtures, calms, sustains us When asking the children about the aspects of papatuanuku, listen without judgement. Ranginui (sky father) - how we respond to life's challenges My reflections - This is a useful model to help students better understand their own emotions and how to self regulate.  How could this be part of our wellbeing model and be utilised within our existing pastoral care model.    One on one mentoring with key students - using the model to support students with their individual behaviour goals. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o-aC1IideJtMCVXTbokYBtMfCQR3pbbhWhpTOpWzhb0...
