Discuss: What is wrong with this consultant/consultee relationship?
The Disengagement Stage is characterized by the question “What do we need to take care of before we say goodbye?” 1. winds down what was started up in the entry stage 2. consultant and consultee evaluate the consultation process 3. plans for maintaining the effects of consultation after the process is over; >Go through period of reduced contact >Make provisions for follow >Terminate the consultation Evaluation - the systematic collection of information about the activities and outcomes of consultation for the purpose of making judgments and decisions about how consultation is proceeding and/or the effects it is having
A period of reduced involvement is initiated. Follow-up procedures are enacted as well. Reduced involvement refers to the gradual reduction in the involvement, which helps prevent abrupt termination. One method, FADING, helps reduce involvement by lessening the contact and involvement with the consultee. (going from weekly to bi-weekly and so on) Reduced involvement does not mean no involvement Follow-up procedures can reduce the stress that comes with winding down consultation. Follow-ups allow for consultants to tweak things and to see how gains are being maintained. Recent research suggests the proper and effective follow-ups often include performance feedback to the consultee.
Phase Three: Reducing Involvement and Following-up
Termination formally ends a process and ideally leads to a sense of satisfaction with whatever has been accomplished. As the termination process is begun, consultants should maintain awareness of their need to be needed and avoid engendering dependence. This definite ending point can prevent unnecessary dependence on the part of the consultee. trans: terminasi merupakan tahan akhir dalam suatu proses kegiatan yang mengarah pada rasa kepuasan terhadap suatu hal yang telah dicapai. ketika proses tersebut dimulai, seorang konsultan harus membantu pengetahuan mereka akan kebutuhan untuk menghindari ketergantungan yang muncul. Pada titik akhirnya adalah mencegah ketergantungan yang tidak diperlukan dari pihak konsultan. Phase Four: Terminating Influences can have a strong effect on the disengagement stage, particularly the evaluation of the consultation process the suitability of checklists or questionnaires consultant and collaborators should be cautious about assuming what kind of evaluation process is to be conducted and acceptable to consultees of differing cultural backgrounds (Sheridan, 2000) perceptionscultural experiences ignoring cultural differences-risk jeopardizes the current relationship as well as future consultations and is ethically questionable .
