What Ever Happened to Collegiality? Using the Five Paths to Uncover How to Manage Conflict in the Workplace

When collegiality breaks down, it’s tempting to focus on what the other person is doing wrong. But most workplace conflict is driven by something less visible: unmet needs and unspoken fears, often on both sides of the relationship. In this session, we’ll introduce ways you can use the Five Paths to Leadership® framework to help you move your strained relationships with colleagues from friction to alignment, so that you can contribute to fostering a greater sense of collegiality in your workplace.

Effective Meeting Design Using the Five Paths to Leadership®

Take this opportunity to rethink how your meetings are designed by exploring the hidden expectations and preferences people bring to the table.

Using The Five Paths to Leadership® to Facilitate Effective Meetings

You already understand how, foundationally, the Five Paths increases self-awareness at various leadership levels.  This session will take what the Five Paths teaches in terms of self-awareness and the nuances of personal, interpersonal and team leadership to  situate them within one of the most common, and sometimes frustrating settings we all work within—meetings.

Using the Five Paths to Leadership® to Deliver Feedback That Motivates 

You probably already know that giving feedback to your colleagues is a beneficial thing to do. But it’s also one of the trickiest things to get right. How many times have you delivered feedback to one colleague and it goes well, and then you deliver feedback to someone else, and it goes awry? The truth is, you cannot use a cookie-cutter approach to giving feedback. The way you communicate feedback needs to be tailored to the person receiving it, so that you can motivate them to put the feedback into action. Join us to explore how you can use the Five Paths to Leadership® model to adapt the way you communicate feedback so that it really resonates with the person receiving it. 

Supervising Varied Voices

Leading a team with varied backgrounds offers an opportunity to avoid ‘groupthink’ and foster innovation, but we must also be honest about the friction it can cause. In this session, we’ll discuss how to address the challenges posed by varied backgrounds and cultural norms so that we can fully leverage the unique perspectives each of your direct reports brings to the table.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Connecting with Your Employees: Practicing Coaching and Engagement 

Too often, we equate supervision with ‘fixing problems,’ but in this session, we’re shifting our focus to ‘developing people.’ We’re going to practice specific coaching techniques that move us from simply directing work, to asking the right questions—the kind that build engagement, trust, and drive long-term productivity.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Getting Comfortable with Uncomfortable Supervisory Conversations

Having difficult conversations is unavoidable—it’s also vital to being an effective supervisor. This session is designed to give you practical tools and boost your confidence, ensuring that you can approach these moments with clarity and composure, and leading to better outcomes for both your direct reports and the entire organization.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Put Your Mask on Before Assisting Others: Taking Care of Yourself 

We’ve all heard the standard airline advice to secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others, and this rule applies to supervision, as well. If you’re running on empty, you can’t fully lead your direct reports. In this session, we’ll shift our focus from self-care as a perk, to self-care as essential maintenance—as a necessary task to keep you functioning as a capable leader. We’ll share practical ways to recharge and lead with clarity and resilience.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Effective Leadership is Inclusive Leadership: A Series

Rather than looking to one engagement for a singular solution, this series provides a multi-pronged approach that would embrace a five-month commitment to both inclusion and leadership development for leaders across multiple units.

This method has the benefit of helping all attendees connect the human element of inclusivity with practical elements of outcomes, fairness, and professionalism. This combination elevates the work of changing hearts and minds with the addition of meaningful understandings of individual impact and influence on systems.   The Academic Impressions inclusive leadership framework effectively aligns to the Mayo Clinic Values:
