You know how it is.  Your team are a good bunch generally speaking. But sometimes you’re not sure why they don’t deliver as well and as quickly as they could. They seem to be working hard and working long hours – and yet the deadlines are still not met.

Or the energy seems to be dipping but you’re not sure why.

Team meetings are hard work. Nobody speaks – or everybody speaks at once. Or some people speak a lot and others say nothing at all.  And it’s hard to stick to the agenda with so many ‘tangents’ in the room. And things that are agreed in those meetings don’t always get done (‘we were too busy’; ‘something more urgent came up’).

And what’s also in the room is an elephant. But you’re not quite sure how to address it in the most effective way.

And change fatigue?  Don’t even go there!

You have a group of highly talented, highly paid individuals. They’re all great people. And yet……

So how do you get a truly exceptional team?

By focusing on two key areas:

Task – getting the right things done at the right time by the right people when there’s so much to do and the world is constantly changing.

People – Having the right people in place, keeping your key talent motivated, engaged and focused. Working on the ‘challenging stuff’ around behaviour, conflict and candid conversations. Creating the culture that helps people to thrive and flourish and being explicit about where you are heading and why.

Want your team to step up? Let’s talk.

Team Coaching – Platinum Programme

For top teams – Minimum six month investment:

We work with you and your senior team on those areas where you have insufficient knowledge, skill or awareness to do it on your own. This is not a ‘team building event’ or an ‘awayday’. It goes broader and deeper than that and is therefore more transformational.

Not every team is ready for team coaching – we’ll tell you if we don’t think yours is and will offer you some alternative options. We only work with those teams who will commit ‘for the long haul’ and for whom there will be a significant return on investment.

You will be working with some of the world’s most experienced international team coaches on this programme.

“The cultural shift was palpable across the organisation. We were able to role model the way things were going to be and leave our own legacy. And you challenged us and held us to account for doing some fairly scary things.”

Mark Ford, CEO, High Peak Housing

“One year on and I can confidently say we have resolved our deep-rooted problems; we’re collectively more positive, more relaxed, more honest and more productive”

Andy Brown CEO Citizens Advice Manchester
