The What
The How
The Why
How do we discuss the “why”?
„
„
„
Data and statistics that create a catalyst for
change in an inspirational way
Empirical research that paints a clear picture
about the effectiveness of one strategy over
another
An organizational mission and vision that
give rationale for improvement

cannot take responsibility; an
individual who is given information
cannot help but take
responsibility.”

Collaborative Teams Network
to really inspire people and engender
full commitment and engagement,
leaders must
„
„
„
„
„
connect to their values
create a vision of what’s possible
ask colleagues to imagine what it would feel
like to be in that vision
discover what colleagues most care about
find ways to connect those passions to the
work that needs to be done
Adapted from Kathleen Stinnett — Senior
Consultant and Executive Coach

Does your guiding coalition speak with

Team discussion
„
„
„
Has our school really examined the
“why” of our collaboration?
What is our perception of the
proportion between compliance and
commitment across our teams?
What actions might we take to support
the ownership of “why? ”
