A Brain Based Approach to Collaborative Leadership Outperforming
the competition, producing financial results and keeping pace with
rapidly changing market conditions means you have to work smarter. Your
effectiveness as a leader is the single greatest driver of
organizational performance. Yet according to the Corporate Leadership Council, there are 6 common derailers for new executives and leaders:
- Ineffective people management and team building skills
- Failure to establish key connections and partnerships
- Lack of feedback and coaching
- Failure to establish a cultural fit
- Confusion about role expectations
- Lack of political savvy to navigate the organization effectively
Using a brain based approach, our coaching process links your
leadership development and team building skills to tangible business
objectives.
Strategic OnboardingOnboarding is the strategic and systematic process of assimilating an executive socially and culturally into an organization, which has been shown to significantly accelerate time to productivity and improve engagement and retention. "Best in Class organizations are nearly 2.5 times more likely than laggard organizations to assign a mentor or coach during the onboarding process," according to a 2009 research report by the Aberdeen Group.
The pressure to improve productivity and do more with less in today's business environment is immense. For executives taking on new roles and responsibilities, an effective onboarding program brings them up to speed more quickly. Our customized approach takes them from goal setting and role identification through clarification of objectives to meet performance expectations. We help them prioritize and build relationships with key team and cross-department members. The program includes a weekly coaching session to ensure progress along a predefined roadmap.
Team Performance and CollaborationStrong teams lead to strong results, and leadership teams must function effectively to set the direction for the entire organization. Our process gives you the ability to successfully influence and motivate others to perform. We work with you to:
- Build leadership capability for you and your team.
- Keep you and your team on track by providing real time feedback.
- Provide breakthrough, measurable results and sustainable changes in your leadership and team's performance.
Meetings are one of the key tools of management, but they're often unproductive and devolve into project updates. Learn to take charge and champion the organization by putting the right tools and techniques into play:
- Deal with team members who aren't clear about the direction they need to take, have difficulty making decisions or running effective meetings.
- Help everyone get a better understanding of the team's purpose, roles and responsibilities.
- Stay on course, despite personalities that can undermine the team's progress.
- Get team members to communicate more clearly, concisely and to the point.
- Achieve alignment among all members in terms of how the team will operate.
