We have built our business on helping clients improve productivity by improving the skill and will of those who work for them.

A leap forward occurs when the organisation moves from the mandatory behaviour people need to produce to keep their jobs to the discretionary behaviour they deliver when they feel truly motivated to behave like people who "own the business". Our approach has the following characteristics:

Team

In order to survive, organisations have had to drastically flatten their management structures. This change has required management to broaden spans of contact, and delegate more to groups. At their best, teams working collaboratively can often achieve a better result than someone working alone. At their worst, no one is accountable and very little gets done. The problem is that grouping individuals together doesn't make a team. Developing team focus performance is more complex than motivating an individual.

We have invested heavily in resources to assist team development. We use a range of instruments, exercises and activities that assist teams in bench marking their performance and modelling high performance. We also transfer the skills on how to build and lead teams for organisations who use them widely in their operation.

Some of the solutions we offer are:

·         Team performance development

·         Interventions for underperforming teams

·         Team communication processes

·         Team problem solving and innovation

·         Team decision making

Leadership

What constitutes effective leadership has been the subject of timeless study and continues to be a growth industry. What we do know is that organisational leadership is directly responsible for business success.

The approach we take is that every manager at every level has a non negotiable leadership responsibility and that every individual at every level leads (at least themselves) in decision making, determining team motivation, influencing others and producing results. Anyone who has experienced family life, been a part of a social or task group, already knows a great deal about leadership, about what works and what does not work, about why some people respond well to the demands of others and why some do not.

The really interesting thing that our life experience tells us then is that most of the theory is common sense. But how do you turn common sense into common practice? Training, is the answer! Training that follows logic and common sense, examining theory and applying it in a practical way.

Our trainers are all very experienced corporate leaders, STAR group officers or SAS commandos, and have a depth of practical knowledge as well as psychological insight to help with the leadership development challenge.

The leadership solutions we provide include:

·         Developing executive and middle management leadership skills through training

·         Success in assessment, planning and coaching

·         Leadership focus activities to drive specific culture change

The presentation will take approximately 4 hours to conduct followed by a number of team building/leadership reaction exercises that will take 2-3 hours to conduct.

As you can appreciate the presentation does not go into the topics covered in depth as they are very complex areas.
