Dodging Coconuts is a four part series designed to help your board and leadership develop your mission and vision. Led by Sylvia Lovely, this unique exercise will help each participant understand the new challenges faced by organizational leaders and how best to prepare and respond to these challenges. She will guide you through each component of the framework giving you time between each meeting to work individually and as a team to build your plan.
Why Dodging Coconuts
The world in which we operate both in our personal and professional lives is very different today than ever before. The rules on how to thrive and find peace with decision making are increasingly difficult. RGS offers a formula that enhances you as a leader and assists your organization in moving forward while at the same time responding to challenges both planned and unforeseen in an ethical, fair, and productive way.
Organizations are run by people. The strength of leadership teams and boards is that we come at our work from various backgrounds thus providing the foundation for a system that has served well in the past. However, new and different pressures are coming to bear on both our management and governing entities, be they boards or other governing structures. These pressures can come from many places including changing finances, external expectations, employee challenges, accidents, or legal or media challenges. Our goal is to move your organization forward with vision, innovation and energy while at the same time being able to successfully to dodge these falling “coconuts.”
Our Approach
At RGS, we combine the experience of our team members, current trends and the needs of our clients into a formula designed to move your organization and leadership forward. We will help guide your leadership team through a four part framework around which to build your unique story… a framework that results in Purpose, Preparation, Planning, and Perspective.
At the conclusion of this series your leadership team will have the tools to successfully move your mission forward with increased energy, understanding the trends and forces at play that challenge your leadership and your organization. You will gain a perspective that will guide your planning well into the future…and be flexible enough to dodge the coconuts that fall around you.
