An Initiative for First Time Managers
AWAKE AT THE WHEEL : Moving Towards Conscious Leadership
The 2-pronged approach
Pre Diagnostics: Focus Group Discussion + Competency Self Reflection
Overview:
Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) are defined as semi structured group discussions, which yield qualitative
data on the community level by facilitating interaction between participants.
• The aim of the FGD is to facilitate interaction and thereby produce, via snowballing of thoughts,
deeper insights.
• FGDs provide information on a group/community level. The strength of an FGD is the forum it creates
for discussion between participants, thus eliciting new ideas and explanations, which would not have
come up during an individual or a household interview.
• Facilitated discussion with help of structured questions and assessment through self reflection
• Develop Individual Development Plans by identifying areas of strengths and development for further
enhancement of skills through interventions like training, coaching and self learning.
