When the future is uncertain and the past is contested, good hosting can bring hope and co-operation into the present.Any Dialogic OD practice will bring people together for creative conversations, expanded horizons, mutual connection and committed action. The way these events are hosted can make all the difference. Mark McKergow offers an image of superb hosting as a mix of detailed planning and openness to whatever emerges, taking the lead when needed, with the intent of stepping back as quickly as possible so participants can lead themselves.This is an important resource for anyone who wants to entice groups of disparate individuals into generative conversations that stimulate new ideas and prompt committed action. It builds connections between big ideas like complexity and emergence with the small practical details of preparing, inviting people and convening a workshop, engaging people on the day, building new possibilities and refining the next steps.Dr. McKergow brings over a decade of research into the etiquette of hosting in different cultures and eras and combines it with three decades of practice in organizational development and change. The book offers a framework of six hosting roles to help navigate the inevitable ups and downs of working with large (and small) groups. Written in an engaging and witty style, the principles of hosting are brought to life in a lively and detailed case example which shows the practical impact and importance of insightful and flexible hosting.Chapter Titles1.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Over the past three decades, Mark McKergow has brought new ideas about learning, changing and leading into the organisational field. He likes things which:
• Make ‘hard’ things easier, quicker, cheaper and more rewarding to do
• Use abilities and know-how people already have (and perhaps have not noticed yet)
• Take a counter-intuitive or unexpected turn, and
• Work ‘with’ the natural grain of the world rather than against it.
Mark is best known for his work on Solutions Focus (building solutions rather than solving problems) and Host Leadership (leading post-heroically by bringing people together). His writing combines sharp clarity with rich textures, stories and metaphors which help readers to quickly start using his ideas. He is also a great enthusiast for sharing credit, and always acknowledges the sources of his work and inspiration.
Mark is director of the Centre for Solutions Focus at Work, based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Facilitating change for the 21st Century

Reviewed in Australia on 23 July 2020

The Host Leadership paradigm helps you to design and host generative change events by thinking about the planning and execution from the viewpoint of six roles, four positions, and one key question: Whether to step forward to step back.

This book is useful to beginners and experience change practitioners alike. For beginners, if this was the first book you picked up on facilitation of workshops and change then all the info you need is here to plan and execute an exceptional change process. For the experienced practitioner, this book will help you enrich you events in new ways and reconsider your role in catalysing change for a team or organisation.

One of the key learnings is that most of the work for a successful hosted change event happens before the event itself. Making this investment of time is fundamental for success.

Inviting people to participate in creating the desired change, generating change from those closest to the problem and hosting them as guests will mean you have a much higher chance of success for your change initiative rather than using the typical and usually unsuccessful project planning focused way of working.

Mark McKergow at his Insightful and practical best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2020

Verified Purchase

What I find best about Mark McKergow's writing is how he manages explore relatively complex subjects and making them very accessible. Littered with examples and stories this book is a real help to me (and I imagine many others in similar professions) in helping teams organisations with the increasing demands that comes with change. I highly recommend it.

Great combination of Hosting and Generative Change

Reviewed in Germany on 25 October 2020

Verified Purchase

Mark McKergow combines the concepts from Host Leadership (see his book on that) and Generative Change. On six pages he introduces the necessary part of Hosting so you can follow the concepts in the book. I like in particular, how he used the icons to show which concepts are applied to the parts of the story. The chapters combine easy-to-read theory with a very practical story from a hospital. To me, this is an essential read in the area of organizational development.
