Designing Authentic Connections Conference Session:

Finding the Pathway Through Fear to Empowerment

Michael F. McGovern

Category: Emerging Operating Models

As organizations seek to fully engage and empower their workforce, the challenge leaders face is one of moving through the fear of “losing control”. This program will present a risk management approach that can be used to mitigate the fears encountered on the path to employee empowerment.

Description:

The program will include

  • A brief presentation of key concepts, 
  • Breakouts will provide the opportunity for participants to apply their new knowledge to a case study. Participants will be asked to respond to leadership questions and concerns. Participants will then use these concerns to drive organization design choices. 
  • Breakout teams will share key learning with the larger group.
Participants will receive a Risk Management Tool and instructions in its use. Participants will also receive a summary of the solutions that were actually developed and employed in the case and a summary of the outcomes realized.
