National Strategy Implementation Learning Collaborative Meeting

Leadership Principle: Challenge the Process

In this Learning Collaborative session, participants  learned how to recognize and address barriers that may be encountered when building successful campaigns promoting the National Strategy and its proposed actions. Leaders constantly question how things are done in their organizations. They identify processes that do not work and take action to fix them. There are typically four barriers to implementing any effective strategy: (1) vision barrier, (2) people barrier, (3) management barrier, and (4) resource barrier. Leaders will learn innovative ways to change, grow and improve to overcome these barriers.
