Leadership Teams

The problem

Most businesses promote people who are really good at their job, give them a team, and leave them to it. People who have spend their whole career honing specific technical skills are then expected to lead a team - which requires a completely different mindset and skillset than they have pursued.

Sometimes, leaders are offered training - 90% of which is content-heavy workshops for a day or a week. They learn a lot, forget most, and implement almost none of it.

The reality

Leadership skill building works like a smoker, not a grill. Smaller, targeted interventions over a longer duration are more effective at embedding new skills and changing behaviors than larger one-off intensive training programs are (see the research summary here).

Leaders get stuck grappling with the symptoms of poor leadership - conflict, firefighting for others, and managing ballooning workloads with not enough time or resources.

A leaders job is to only occasionally solve today’s problems, whilst actively creating tomorrow’s value. We teach them how to think like a leader.

 Our approach

1. Start with the simple things that buy more time and reduce wasted effort.

2. Teach high-leverage skills that prevent today’s problems whilst creating tomorrow’s value.

3. Work better with people. Prevent conflict and foster growth and up-skilling of people.

Promises

Working with us will reduce or eliminate:

• Unwanted turnover

• Burnout and exhaustion

• Conflict, team tension, interpersonal issues

• Wastage, rework, down-time

• Workplace injuries and near-misses

If it doesn’t work, you don’t pay.
