HOW WE CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS

1. Building Powerful Teams

IMAGINE THE TEAMS IN YOUR ORGANISATION:

1. Tightly bound by a unifying sense of purpose.
2. Adaptive to change, with open lines of communication and a powerful sense of mutual trust and confidence in one another.
3. Willing to concentrate all their attention and efforts on winning a few key battles for the organisation.

"The team thoroughly enjoyed the experience, stating that it was the best exercise of its kind they had ever experienced. More importantly, a language was developed that is now used on a day to day basis in the business. The programme was interesting, challenging and allowed for real, honest interactions. - Lynne Derman. HR CONSULTANT, NURCHA

WHY BUILD POWERFUL TEAMS:

Customer expectations and competitive forces are on the increase. There are new and greater expectations from the marketplace of what must be delivered. In this environment, strong, agile teams are the ultimate source of competitive advantage.

We work with leaders and their teams who wish to:

1. Dramatically increase their impact in the business.
2. Build a strong base of trust and team spirit to ensure the team is pulling together to act in unity.
3. Identify and eliminate areas where the team may be stuck and not working to its full potential.
4. Ensure they have a clear plan to move confidently into the future.

"We received quite excellent feedback on the experience. We all felt that your delivery exceeded our expectations. There will be opportunities for further interaction in the future."

- Nicholas Motsatse. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAMRO

2. Turning Strategy Into Action

IMAGINE

1. A focused, energised and visible senior leadership team.
2. Confident, hopeful about the future and equipped with a clear plan to produce excellent business results.
3. Leading disciplined teams strongly connected to the business vision and motivated by their part in achieving total business success.

A POWERFUL CURE FOR THE 6 CHRONIC BUSINESS DILEMMAS

1. Lack of clarity about the Vital Few: Those critical 'battles' that must be won or no other achievement will really matter.
2. Confusion about what to do: Low engagement, uncertainty and low commitment in the body of the business about 'what I must do' to help the business succeed.
3. Low visibility leadership: Senior managers disconnecting to work on 'my picture' rather than the big picture, resulting in silos and self protection.
4. The busyness trap: Lots of activity and effort, but few real results that really move the business forward in meaningful ways.
5. Good intentions poor execution: A low Say Do %, accompanied by great ideas, plenty of activity, lots of talk but no results.
6. Unequal distribution of work: A few people doing all the work leading to burnout, resentment and loss of key talent.

We work with clients who wish to tackle these dilemmas in their business and achieve significant, measurable and relevant breakthroughs in the performance of their business.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"Markets and global economic conditions are continuously changing. Under these circumstances, leaders have to adapt and prepare their organisations for these changing circumstances. LeadershipWorks has helped me identify the dangers and face the challenges making me a better leader of my team. I have learnt very effective ways of getting people to focus attention on the tough problems. This can be a difficult and complicated task, particularly in organisations where mechanisms for avoiding painful issues and avoiding work have developed over a number of years."

"I have been working with Leadership Works for the last 10 years. Our most recent session was a team building exercise where we got in excess of 200 people on two consecutive days from SuperSport and their technical supplier M-Net Broadcast Services, a first in the two companies 21 year history. Prior to this session there was a major rift developing between the companies which was starting to affect the production quality. However by the time the session ended there was a definite feeling of a united team that was ready to tackle a major year in South African Sports history, we are now ready for 2010. Thank you LeadershipWorks. "

- Andre Venter . Head of Operations, Mnet Broadcast Services Africa
