Applying the Toolkit to your Work • Assessing • Planning and Practicing • Implementing tools
Start planning by diagnosing where your group is re: Boundary Spanning Leadership process • Has each agency/organization represented already done a good job of Buffering? • How has Reflecting happened among members—does each member have a solid understanding of the values, agenda, non-negotiables of the other members’ agencies? • What about Connecting? Does trust exist between all groups involved?
Diagnostic Tools to use: • BSL Assessment Tool (in workbook from the workshop); or • On Digital Toolkiton the introduction page • Decide who from your group should complete the assessment: • Leadership Team only? • Full Membership? • Complete Assessment individually and tabulate/share results and discuss where the work needs to start.
One-hour meeting options • If you are starting at Buffering: • Give people pre-work to do before meeting (Boundary Defining Conversations tool ) related to the shared work the group intends to do… • Then at the meeting (times will likely need adjusting):
