I help good government leaders build effective teams that lean into the future of public service.
Three Branches Leadership:
New Challenge Plan
Inspire

Inspire your team with values and vision to advance good government

Execute
Administration

In your life as a leader, the activities of leading, managing and administering are inseparable. These are the three branches of good government leadership.
​
A leader who cannot manage may inspire people but lacks a plan to accomplish the mission. A leader who cannot
administer risks losing credibility due to failed execution.
​
Your New Challenge Plan will address:
-
Strategic networking to enable leading, managing, and administering your mission
-
Decision-making frameworks for your top priorities
-
Effective delegation
-
Plans to introduce innovation
-
Preparation for hiring to build out your team
-
Managing to your resources and maintaining quality
-
Developing your team's collective capabilities
-
Constructive approaches to conflict
​
Your New Challenge Plan will deeply incorporate your strengths and values. At the same time, the semi-structured approach will promote expansive thinking, accountability, and results. You will leave this program with one integrated plan that will prepare you to tackle your new challenge.
​
This program is also available to small leadership teams.
​
What is the Three Branches Leadership: New Challenge Plan?
The Program has four components to ensure that every hour you spend on it is critical to your success as a leader, manager and administrator.
​
-
Checks and Balances Sessions – Leaders will create comprehensive plans that integrate the three branches of leadership, management, and administration. These sessions are available to small leadership teams or to individual leaders.
-
Leadership Coaching Sessions – A leader arrives to the session with a specific high-priority issue that needs to be resolved and leaves with a plan for addressing it.
-
Worksheet Feedback – During the Checks and Balances Sessions, leaders will have an opportunity to complete planning worksheets. Kate will review these to offer feedback that may spark ideas for additional approaches.
-
Asynchronous Video Messaging – The leaders in this program engage in twice-weekly asynchronous video messaging to promote accountability for intentions they set for themselves. A video only takes a minute, and it is hard to say on camera why you did not follow through on a commitment you made to yourself.
When do I need the New Challenge Plan?
Ideal participants in this program are aware that a specific new challenge is starting soon, and they have at least a small amount of time to prepare for it.
​
The program is designed for good government leaders who have just accepted a new role with significant new responsibilities, and for leaders who suddenly face a new environment that comprehensively impacts the strategy, plan, and operations of their team.
What can I do to confirm that this program is relevant to my situation?
This program is customizable, and I highly encourage you to get in touch with me before you sign up so that I can better understand your unique goals and circumstances even before our first session together.
​
This program can also be adapted to work within your budget or adjusted to work on a timeline that is relevant to your circumstances. The New Challenge Plan is available to individual leaders and to small leadership teams.
