CHARACTER-BASED INTERVENTION AT LUTZVILLE

In hierdie kort artikel wat ek graag die proses verduidelik wat ons onlangs gevolg het met die karakter opleiding by HOëRSKOOL LUTZVILLE Maar eerstens weer net gou my passie om betrokke te raak met die proses.Dit is die stellings soos die volgende wat my opgewonde maak en net meer aamoedig om betrokke te bly.“South Africa might need to consider introducing subjects related to ethics in schools to curb the scourge of corruption and make people understand the "devastation" it caused.

CASE STUDIES: Lessons learnt from the Character First implementation at Water and Sanitation, City of Cape Town.

We trained approximately 120 staff in the basics of implementing Character First. The outcomes were clear, namely that you will be able to build character, praise for character, how to use it in character-based directed work meetings, incorporate this in hiring and do the character-based correction.

Please contact me for a copy of the article we have compiled on the process with them. Alternatively, I am keen to take your team through a Power Hour session to explain this remarkable programme to your senior management team.

The next steps: Selected staff have received help to do a Character-based team assessment and have also ordered material on some of the 49 character qualities. Start doing the same and order these character booklets.  

COACHING TIPS FOR OUR CHARACTER CHAMPIONS

We at Character First want to develop a network of Character Champions that are serious about making a significant difference in their area of influence. Character Champions are leaders who have invested in themselves in order to change other people’s lives. We can only pass on to others those qualities that we ourselves possess.

• Be a student of character for the rest of your life.
• Study one character quality per week.
• Do a 360-degree assessment and ask for feedback.
• Implement this at your home.

Please contact me if you want to be trained or need a copy of the course outline of this remarkable Character First champion programme.

CORE VALUES: OFTEN SMART SLOGANS FOR THE BOARD REPORT

In my experience as business consultant I have come across a number of these beautiful value and mission statements. I have also discovered that the employees sometimes determine the culture of the organisation.

Suggestion: Simply develop some mechanisms to sustain a character-based culture in your organisation. It starts with you and your team.

Please contact me so I can send you both these two instruments so you can do an honest assessment to determine whether you are in the red, in orange or green.
