Transforming the effectiveness of your Top Management Team
In this single, one-day event, your whole view of what is possible will almost certainly change dramatically. Whether you are a Chief Executive, Managing Director, General Manager, Department Head or Programme Director, the effectiveness of your immediate Senior Management Team is likely to be critical to the overall behaviour and performance of your organisation. Yet, research suggests that over 80% of senior executives consider that their own top team is not a high performing team. If you believe your top team needs to be more effective, then this event is definitely for you.
If you feel you have heard it all before, then think again, because this is not a rehash of traditional management ideas. This event will enable you to bring about a fast change in behaviour within your top management team, and other critical teams, by reframing their perceptions in a way that will quickly translate into measurable performance improvements. In the example quoted in “Strategy Magazine”, one executive used the principles explained in this event to improve efficiency of his unit by 40% in five months. Brian Elliott, was quoted as saying this approached “saved the organisation £3 million a year”. Many Senior Executives from hundreds of organisations have already attended our Leadership events and found how the power of changing perceptions can make a genuine difference.
Specifically in this event, you will learn how to:
Eliminate “Silo” thinking where many members of the team are
only focused on their own specialisms or departments
Reframe your top managers’ perception so they move from Crisis Management
to High Performance Leadership
Cascade the reframing process used within the top team to transform the organisation
and progressively build a complete Culture of High Performance
Utilise strategic “Systems Thinking” to enable your team to be
more creative and work together far more effectively
Improve your own work-life balance by ensuring your team is taking greater
responsibility for achieving success
Utilise the “Butterfly Effect” to enable you to make an initial
small change that will progressively achieve completely disproportionate, highly
beneficial outcomes
Transform the usual resistance to change that necessitates great effort to “push-in” changes,
to a highly motivated situation that will “pull-in” changes for
improvements, without even the need for “sell-in” to create the “buy-in”
Use “Crisis Scenario Planning” to ensure that your team is capable
of quickly responding to external changes
Ensure your projects come in on-time and within budget
Focus your whole team on working together to continually improve the Value
being created by the organisation
Enable your team to unify all the separate initiatives within the organisation,
into a single integrated approach
Develop a Performance Measurement system that provides essential information
rather than volumes of data
Continually create the same psychological situation in the business and working
environment, which enables groups to temporarily become teams on outward bound
courses
Enable the whole Senior Management Team to see the “big picture” that
previously only you were able to comprehend
Ensure your team has the initiative, capability and motivation to tackle problems
that currently seem insoluble
Enable your team to create “ joined up solutions” and eliminate “black
holes” where no one takes responsibility
How can this approach be so much more powerful than traditional methods?
The power of the Value Leverage approach comes from the fact that it has been
developed by distilling those very few “gold nuggets”, from a range
of new and established sciences and disciplines, which allow you to predict
how and why people will behave the way they do within organisations. These
gold nuggets allow you to see that people behave appropriately to their individual
perception of their situation. However, their perception changes depending
on which frame of reference they are using. When someone’s frame of reference
changes, their behaviour changes automatically. This event will show you how
to change your team’s frame of reference.
Value Leverage utilises the Systems Thinking approach. This approach is increasingly being used throughout the world, because it gives people the perspective to easily resolve many types of problems that had previously seemed insoluble. As such, Value Leverage enables Leaders to “Reframe Perceptions” in a way that will simultaneously improve the effectiveness of their own team, and quickly achieve a step improvement in the performance of their whole organisation.
