As I told you earlier I wish to share what I learned from a mission ka.
Going to see with my own eyes some big changes of a faculty gave me real good lessons about leadership.
Meanwhile, I listened to Eighthalf podcast owned by Khun Tong Kaweewut, about change (Ep 1805) from his own experience so I think of combining the two in this message ka.
To change an organization, Khun Tong Kaweewut cited "three L's", which are 'Listening to people, 'Lay out the plan' (Communication), and 'Lead by example'
For me with this specific faculty, the first two "L's" were really significant. They used so many tools to get comments and feedback from within and outside communities (students, workforce, collaborative and employment communities). I was really impressed by how much time and energy exerted. More importantly, its communities expressed their appreciation to see that their voices were heard and seen (from actions as solid evidence). Personally, I admire the leading team for having such a strong determination and continuous effort to make this big bold change happen. This clearly showed consistent communication flows, which was helpful to reduce
resistance (noticeable how much it was from some interactions on site!) and call for more buy-ins. I also wonder how the leading team has got its intrinsic motivation......would really love to capture their thinking and actions loei ka.
In addition, I love its planning components that cover the whole process of before, during, and after to make sure that each step would be assessed for further improvements
The third 'L' for me would rather be called, 'Leaders as One!' When praising the leading team, they said right away that it was because of the leadership and support of their 'CEO'. The CEO also showed mutual appreciation ka. I observed that both CEO and the leading team were very humble about the progress made, noting that they couldn't possibly come to this point on their own.
This doesn't mean the faculty has already been successful in reaching their goals but the humble selves, synergy, and support have been the most valuable source for them to move forward in full force. Their next stage is to ensure that all important steps in the system will be aligned and integrated as planned for key people to act along with the new directions.
One thing I wish to mention too is about 'trust' ka. This faculty has got lots of trust from its communities/partners. It's good to make things much easier to get started or get going. Yet, it's less good when partners have too few questions which otherwise, would be more helpful to develop further ka.
All the best to them with my thumbs up ka.
