Lessard and Associates, LLC can help your organization develop
executive retreat agendas and to deliver communication workshops
tailored to your specific organizational needs. Ideas for custom
workshops include persuasive communication skill development,
intercultural communication and gender communication. It is helpful to
have had an organizational communication evaluation completed prior
to the executive retreat.
Overview and Underlying Philosophy
Executive retreats provide an environment for reflection on
organizational culture and realities so that team building and future
planning can take place. Goals include developing structure and plans
to navigate change and improve organizational effectiveness to
maintain or enhance accountability to stockholders or stakeholders.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has influenced the rationale underlying the
need for executive retreats. Organizations understand the ethical and
legal necessity to take steps to avoid corporate malfeasance and
strengthen accountability. Serious agendas are replacing “feel-good”
exercises.
Communication and relationship building/relationship maintenance are
fundamental to developing ethical and legal practices. Strategic plans
and organizational policy need to reflect organizational alignment.
Crafting effective language provides the basis to develop aligned
plans and policy.
Strategic direction and organizational policy will have to be
communicated. Executives represent the organization to their
employees, the stockholders or stakeholders and the public.
Understanding how accountability is related to communication gives
rise to the importance of learning and practicing specific
communication skills.
