Why Your Why Is Not Enough
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 24, 2021
9:30AM - 10:30AM
Session Type: Workshop
Simon Sinek’s famous book, Start with Why, and TedTalk, has led many leaders to get clear about their why and share it broadly across their organization. However, when leading a team or organization, the leader’s why is simply not enough to engage others, especially when it comes to implementing new best practices and innovations. In this session, participants will be presented with a tool to identify the degree to which their organization has Why Alignment and where breakdowns may exist. This tool can be used to understand staff engagement and resistance as it relates to change efforts and even daily tasks. The Why Alignment tool can be used to think more broadly about the why behind our work and how it connects to our policies, practices, and programs. Participants will be asked to explore beyond just their why to get clear about the level of alignment across their organization.
