It's Time to LEAD: Mastery Means Moving Beyond the Frameworks
Spotlight: Carlton Hall
|
|
|
Over the last 25 years, I have endeavored to apply the latest, most effective research tools, practices and resources to communities working to create positive change. I have looked closely at (and worked with) a seemingly inexhaustible list of organizational and community change models and frameworks. In recent decades our country has made significant investments in creating the capability for community leaders and stakeholders to think and work scientifically. Systems Theory, critical thinking, learning organizations, solution-focused practice, skills of inquiry, the Strategic Prevention Framework, Communities that Care, the Social Development Strategy, the Social Ecological Model, Collective Impact, SBIRT, place-based organizing and prevention, Diffusion of Innovation, Health in All Policies, Determinants of Health, But Why? And But Why Here? Just to name a few…
Unfortunately, during our current time of volatile transition, evolving challenges, and devastating national epidemics, models and frameworks are not enough to achieve desired population outcomes. There are effective communities, coalitions and change agents. Yet despite having access to all the tools, knowledge and innovative models, far too many communities and leaders are feeling frustrated, inadequate, underappreciated and under-resourced.
I have focused on these questions:
- When exposed to the same tools, training and support, why is there such disparity between high-performing leaders, organizations and coalitions, and low performers?
- What are the unseen routines and thinking patterns that lie behind the most effective and successful leaders and coalitions?
- How can other coalitions and leaders develop similar routines, thinking and capacity?
In other words, how can coalitions move beyond merely learning frameworks toward mastery of their craft?
At Carlton Hall Consulting LLC (CHC) our leadership training approach (L.E.A.D.) emphasizes four key phases:
- Learn – Leaders clearly and specifically define what does the leader, organization, and coalition need to know, be able to do, and produce in order to effect the desired change in thinking, behavior and results.
- Educate – According to the NTL Institute for Applied Behavioral Science learners retain 90 percent of what they learn when they both teach and use it immediately. In this phase, leaders and coalitions engage and empower their broader constituency in the crucial learning required for the desired changes.
- Activate – Leaders identify leverage points of action that will lead to demonstrable changes in the shortest time frame.
- Deliberate – Leaders engage internal and external experts to facilitate their coalitions and organizations through skill building improvement toward mastery.

Providing Meaningful Responsibilities and Opportunities for Epidemiological
Workgroup Members
One of the key tasks for Epidemiological Workgroup (EW) leaders is to engage workgroup members in a way that leads to workgroup sustainability. One important strategy is to identify meaningful areas for participation by EW members; as member responsibility increases and members are invited to participate more fully in decision-making, the work of the group overall becomes more sustainable. Two key areas that can benefit from member engagement are data product development and diffusion of data products to the prevention field. The questions below can help you identify meaningful responsibilities and opportunities for both current and prospective members in both areas.
Data Product Development
- Which data indicators do different members find most useful?
- What types of analyses are members interested in conducting besides the ones that the workgroup is currently engaged in?
- What role can members play in helping to produce workgroup products (e.g., epidemiological profile, reports, briefs)?
- What other data products are members interested in producing outside those already planned?
- How can the workgroup more effectively tap members’ knowledge/ experience to strengthen the profile?
- What types of feedback can members provide on data-related products?
Data Product Diffusion
- What key partnerships or networking can members help facilitate?
- How might members benefit from having access to one another’s data?
- How can members use the data and knowledge generated by the group to inform their individual agencies’ work?
- How might members share workgroup data with other agencies, organizations, or people to increase stakeholder knowledge and/or buy-in of prevention efforts?
- What role can members play in helping to “market” workgroup findings and products?
