BACKGROUND

 

 The Stage II workshop of Radical Transformational Leadership is an advanced learning-in-action leadership programme of Dr. Monica Sharma and builds on what was learned and practiced in Stage 1 (9/11 days) through a series of four sessions over Eight days. This programme is designed to continue to support a diverse group of entrepreneurs, programme managers, policy makers and community members to generate extraordinary results for equitable and enduring individual, organizational, community and societal change.  This stage is critical in continuing the learning-in-action that we began in Stage 1 and deepen our capacity to implement change in new, effective and ethical ways.

All who have completed RTL Stage 1 and have been in practice for at least a year are invited by RTL-Works to participate in RTL Stage 2 Workshop Series.

PURPOSE OF RTL STAGE 2

To support people to enhance creativity, connectivity and capacity to generate the enduring and equitable impacts and outcomes they wish to see, design breakthrough initiatives to build on what works, address challenges and generate powerful results.


 In every session, we will integrate core Radical Transformational Leadership practices and distinctions with new tools and processes for our project or issue area resulting in equity and wellbeing.  

RTL Stage 2 Session 1: 27-28 January 2024
New Narratives, New Possibilities and Radical Transformational Leadership 

We will focus on the following:  

 

o   Create new possibilities for our humanity and planet through seeing and documenting the new emerging narratives that foster equity, human unity and dignity for all. How do we notice when a new narrative is emerging and start amplifying that narrative, so that it becomes the new normal? 

 

o   Enhance capacity for creativity and contribution as transformational managers, transformational leaders and transformational stewards. What does it imply? How do I integrate RTL templates and tools in ‘Everyday Activities’? How do I plan for and implement shifts in systems and cultural norms and create alternatives? What are the core building blocks of the Radical Transformational approach that build capacity of teams and partners to do things differently, shift conversations, and accomplish transformational results? 

 

o   Notice and transcend defensiveness. All of us have fears as a consequence of our socialization process. Becoming aware of them allows us to have more options and make choices and transcend our defensiveness. Then, we are not ‘stuck’, not obstructive, not attached to our views and opinions. As human beings, we have an innate ability to commit to action when we get out of our own way. Committing to action is what makes ordinary people do extraordinary things.

RTL Stage 2 Session 2:  24-25 February 2024
Cultural and Organizational Transformation for Human Unity 

We will focus on the following: 

 

o   Interrupt disempowering ‘ISMS. The key to interrupting entrenched ‘isms’ is to source the universal values of dignity, equity, and compassion, transcending our ego and loosening the grip of our exclusionary social identities. The root factors of all isms are the same, though its expressions may be different. What can we put in place? 

 

o   Build ‘Stage 5’ teams and entities in order to generate equitable and enduring results. How do we enhance accountability and simultaneously experience the joy of service and the adventure of unfolding our full potential? What ‘everyday’ communication, learning, and strategic processes support stage 5 teams and entities? How will we transform inevitable breakdowns to breakthroughs? 

 

o   Build Trust: We can and must learn to trust. Building trust is a leadership competency. How will we create, build and maintain trust? and restore trust once it has been lost or betrayed?  Trust solves problems by way of releasing the wisdom of the team and the group.  Trust amplifies a sense of solidarity.  Trust is something we make, create, and sustain with our promises, commitments, moods, emotions and sense of our own integrity.  

 

RTL Stage 2 Session 3: 23-24 March 2024
Responding at Scale-The Strategic Tapestry of Scale 

We will focus on the following: 
 
o   SOS – 2 There are many opportunities for significant change in most organizations and projects. How do we put in place the essential strategies to ensure significant change? How do we develop, and utilize, capacities in today’s context? How do we initiate meaningful metrics and responsible media to establish conscious full spectrum responses? And establish interdependent entities? 
 
o   Principles of Constellations:  Everyone can directly make a difference to scale action and results by designing and implementing Conscious Full Spectrum responses at home or at work or in communities. When we source universal values, and express them through strategic action, multitudes of initiatives come alive, and a vast array of ideas find expression based on our aspirations, interests and talents. Our independence is wholesome through our interdependence. What are organizing principles of independent/interdependent ‘stars’ of constellations?
 
o   Accountability and Responsibility. Leadership is not reserved for chairpersons and CEOs. Because we focus on shifting routine activities into spaces for transformational and enduring change, every person can lead and generate transformational results within their sphere of influence and accountability, no matter how large or small. How do we create spaces to encourage people to step up and take responsibility?

RTL Stage 2 Session 4: 4-5 May 2024
Whole Systems Transformation for Equitable and Enduring Results

We will focus on the following: 
 
o   Establishing a learning organization: What Skills, Competencies and Inner capacities do we need to learn in today’s context to address complexity? How do we establish effective and vibrant organizations and enhance capacities of staff? How can learning inculcate personal mastery and, at the same time, create a learning-through-action culture?
 
o   Systems Change and Leverage: Prosperous and thriving societies are established when we align our strategies and action to respond and solve problems and simultaneously put in place strategies to realize our full potential to generate systems alternatives. And we are attuned to one another, operating in resonance based on universal values of dignity, fairness and compassion. With our tremendous technological advances, we can disrupt unworkable systems and accomplish tremendous meteoric transformation in a short span of time, not merely incremental change. How do we leverage systems to address the huge, seemingly intractable problems in today’s fragmented, inter-connected world? 
 
o   Transformational Campaigns and Speaking Events: Transformational stewardship development is at the heart of designing and implementing meaningful, results-oriented campaigns and events. How do we organize them? Responsible advertising and media, including social media, are critical for a thriving humanity and planet. Misinformation and lies on social media can mislead and manipulate us. As citizens, we must educate ourselves, not be swayed by whatever appears on social media and create a counterculture. What can we do?
 
o   Enrolment: How do we enroll politicians and citizens to transform the political discourse to generate a prosperous, equitable and enduring future and mature the democratic process? Citizens want to know, and are fully capable of understanding, the systems and cultural norms that give rise to problems in everyday living as well as those that erode our dignity and capabilities from manifesting. Citizens want to engage in making their lives, and the lives of the next generation, better. How do we enroll them?
