Corporate leaders everywhere are searching for the ultimate edge. Ever-increasing rates of change and competition press companies to continually explore new ground and do more with less. There is no shortage of guidance on how to lead, and you would be hard-pressed to find a CEO who doesn’t want to have a high-performing team and culture. In fact, a Google search on the how-to’s of high performance yields more than 30,000 results, ranging from quick fixes to complex theories.
The focus is warranted because of the expectation: A high-performing team will produce innovations and results that take the company to the next level. This is the team that will reduce costs, increase productivity, shorten time for research and development, and get products and services to market faster. In short, these are the people who can save the day.
Although the business landscape is complex, building a high-performing team doesn’t have to be: It can begin as simply as a single leader with a single challenge. This interactive and highly participative two day training gives the learner an opportunity to assess their team's performance and the tools and techniques to promote higher performance.
Approach
Through self-analysis participants recognise the task they unintentionally assume in a group. The participants draw up an overview of the tasks that they can take on in the group. In the training group they gain experience with orientation, motivation and ‘how do I perceive another, how does the other perceive me’?
