A participatory planning process leading to commitment and action
"Forward, March! - It may not be the best way to move toward a vision."
Ken Whitney "Building Commitment Into Strategic Plans"
The style required of leaders is changing. There is an undeniable trend toward participatory leadership and direct participation in problem solving, planning and decision making. Managers, supervisors and leaders need the capacity to enable groups to maximize their potential for excellence and productivity. Organizations are responding by making structural changes that place increasing levels of responsibility in the hands of teams.The ToP strategy planning process allows you to achieve consensus among participants with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
