Consultant Biography
2006
Your company is in a rut and needs to change.
Change management expert Dalton Kehoe, a popular lecturer at Schulich's Centre for Executive Education, may have just the right tools to turn around your company's sagging fortunes.
Rather than dwell on everything the company is doing wrong, Dalton Kehoe asks his corporate clients to do something altogether different -- he asks them to focus on all of the things they do right. Instead of dissecting past mistakes and miscues, Kehoe gets his clients to rediscover their past achievements and best practices through a process he and his consulting associates at Heart of the Matter Consulting refer to as "Appreciative Inquiry."
It's a process designed to unleash organizational change by "engaging the best in yourself and your company," says Kehoe. He calls the process "collaborative and inspiring." Adds Kehoe: "It underscores peoples' strengths, passion and imagination - essential factors in achieving their envisioned future." By dwelling on what works; on what made the organization terrific, companies are better able to discover the answers to their problems and muster up the passion and the energy to make positive changes, says Kehoe.
This high-energy consultant brings his real-world business expertise to bear in the courses he teaches at Schulich. He is an Associate Professor of Social Science and Communications Studies at York University and a past winner of York’s University-Wide Teaching award and of the OCUFA Award for being one of the top teachers in Ontario. Not surprisingly, he is also one of the most highly rated seminar leaders at Schulich's Division of Executive Development. Kehoe partly attributes his teaching success to his experience working as a business consultant. Says Kehoe: "I don't teach anything that I don't also work on as a consultant."
His current consulting work focuses on the relationship between the local business manager and his or her staff and the quality of psychological and physical health employees have in the workplace. If the local leadership is "toxic," says Kehoe, it will result in a number of discernable hard costs for the business in terms of staff turnover, absenteeism, and short- and long-term disability costs. His current studies, conducted with several clients, show that there is a strong statistical connection between leadership behaviour and its impact on the bottom line. "With toxic leaders," says Kehoe, "profits fall, employees leave, customers complain. When you begin to quantify the impact, you have numbers that senior management find very hard to ignore."
Appreciative inquiry and health-enhancing management are rooted in the same style of leading people. Kehoe calls this “Facilitative Leadership” – the name of one of the two very successful seminars he leads for the Division of Executive Development. In this workshop, managers discover their value-based, emotionally intelligent, abilities to create trust, engage people in decision-making and resolve conflicts. In his second workshop, “Facilitation Techniques for Project and Team-Based Work Environments”, the fundamentals of Facilitative Leadership are applied to the effective operation of work and project teams. What we add here, he says, are particular techniques for intervening effectively into discussions; ways of structuring productive meetings, and through using small groups and coaches, we give participants a chance to practice several approaches to group decision-making. “Whether one-on-one or in team meetings, Kehoe says, “a Facilitative Leader is the kind of person who makes it easier for people to accomplish something together.”
