My people seem to fight change every step of the way. Is there anything we can do to get them on board faster?
Companies, leaders and teams that thrive during chaotic periods have a big competitive advantage. By shifting the negative perceptions of the team and providing change-oriented skills, teams can learn to embrace change and stay focused. We can also assess your team's change quotient and help their leader learn to communicate, manage and motivate them to the performance level needed to meet the challenge.
My organization needs to create and implement a solid strategic plan but we keep hitting roadblocks. What can you do for us?
Planning and execution require very different skills and behaviors; those who plan may not be the best at execution. We focus on the people portion of your strategic plan, identifying gaps in skills, behaviors, and communication traits crucial to implement your plan. We’ll assess your key staff to help you understand the strengths and challenges of your team. We’ll facilitate planning sessions to keep the process on track and moving forward.
I’m fortunate to have a great organization of smart, powerful people. How can I get them working together better?
Organizational dynamics are the result of your unique mix of individuals and work styles. Using our suite of assessment tools, we examine your existing organization and help you understand the behavioural strengths, gaps, and motivational needs of your staff. Our workshops help each individual get the most out of themselves and others.
Any ideas for managing remote staff with constantly changing priorities?
With Managing Performance Priorities, the team has 24/7 access to our web-based program where a manager and employee can simultaneously establish and update priorities. Personal accountability is held by everyone involved, and the employees will have the comfort of knowing their plan of action is approved before they are on their way. With this level of communication, time wasted on the wrong tasks is significantly reduced and no longer causes frustration and loss of productivity.
What would maximize the productivity of our board meetings?
Corporate and non-profit boards are full of strong, committed people with equally strong, committed opinions. Having a communication and behavioral specialist as a non-biased facilitator ensures that all this powerful energy moves forward in the same direction. Communication workshops combined with behavioral assessments can help board members learn to use their strengths and address the gaps that come with the unique behavioral makeup of your board.
