A POWERFUL CURE FOR THE 6 CHRONIC BUSINESS DILEMMAS

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.

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.

BUILDING POWERFUL TEAMS:

IMAGINE:

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

"The team thoroughly enjoyed the experience, stating that it was the best team building exercise that they had ever been on. 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 internally of what must be delivered. More and more teams are feeling this pressure and require planned and deliberate time out for positive reflection and re-engagement.

We work with leaders and their teams who wish to:

1. Reflect on their impact in the business.
2. Ensure that they are thinking clearly and confidently about the future.
3. Build a strong base of trust to ensure the team is pulling together to act in unity.
4. Identify and eliminate areas where the team may be stuck and not working to its full potential.

"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
