5 A's Protocol and Concentric Circles:

To process this section of the book, you will utilize two strategies:

  • The 5 A's Protocol (available here) and
  • Concentric Circles (download here).  

Note: The book study coordinator will need to print and have these character cards available for this exercise. (Retain the character cards as they will be used at various times throughout the book study.)
Please download a copy of the 5A's and complete for the meeting. You will note instructions for facilitating both processes are included.

Additional Food for Thought:

Simon Sinek discusses the impact of the brain's chemicals on what he labels work-life balance, but what I prefer to consider a leadership-life fit. This clip is more about the long-lasting effect of cortisol and two strategies that will help you to increase your oxytocin because they serve to build trust. You might consider these in the 'Application' segment of your 5 A's protocol.
