Are you looking ahead to the future, reshaping business strategy, seeking to drive efficiencies and sustainable growth, but acknowledging the need for more effective behaviours to achieve your vision and business ambitions?
Dysfunctional teams, toxic work cultures, a breakdown in mutual trust and sustained disconnection and negative politics will stand in the way of leading change, resolving challenges and realising your business ambitions.
Enabling highly effective behaviours from within a team is key; behaviours that build trust, enabling commitment, accountability and ownership, whilst delivering innovation, performance and a focus on results.
Short term solutions will not deliver a sustainable transformation in behaviour or culture that will deliver your business ambitions.
We can help.
Development tends to focus on the individual, not the team working together effectively as a whole.
Enabling Transformation through sustained cultural change will be derailed if:
What we do isn’t easy, may not be comfortable and takes effort and buy-in throughout.
But it gets long term, sustainable results.
We partner with leaders and their teams, building ownership of the team process and dynamics, by enabling highly effective behaviours through a shared experience, narrative and collective leadership.
We focus on the team and the leader, our process is distinct from training, instead it is integrated into your business.
It is deeply experiential, transforming both the individual and team mindset and behaviours so that outcomes are sustained.
To achieve that, we partner with you, integrating into your organisation, culture and context. We will attend your meetings regularly, observing the existing behaviours, dynamics and culture in place.
As the leader is a vital catalyst, they will need to lead by example, to provide the reassurance for the team to follow.
If people fear what others may think, this limits their ability to bring forward their awareness and best ideas.
And what is vital, is teams putting forward their best ideas – achieving your competitive advantage depends on it.
When we transform behaviour, we transform team dynamics.
When we transform team dynamics, we transform outcomes.
We don’t get the results we do by chance. It’s through a powerful systemic team coaching process, honed through many years’ experience working with diverse teams around the world, applying studies of behaviour and occupational psychology.
We take teams on a journey from distrust and dysfunction, to trust, accountability, unleashed innovation and high performance.
Awareness
We attend your meetings and observe the process, system and dynamics of how you work together as a team. As this is revealed, we build awareness within the team of the existing ways of working.
Outcome
It is this awareness of the existing team dynamic and ways of working which is so powerful for creating trust within a team. It is also a vital foundation for enabling transformation within a team.
Curiosity
With awareness growing, it is time to enable deep listening within the team. We call this 'Go slow, to go fast' which builds the experience of curiosity to fully diagnose complex business scenarios that may be playing out in the organisational 'system'.
Outcome
This stage needs time, because if underlying tensions and dysfunction are not fully understood and resolved, then these behaviours can continue to undermine and disrupt the team, maintaining inefficient and ineffective behaviours.
Discover
As the journey continues, our experience is that teams continue to build trust with each other by surfacing issues such as their underlying beliefs, myths, tensions and interpersonal conflicts.
Outcome
‘Healthy conflict’ begins to emerge as the team focuses on resolving business challenges and experiencing a new way of working. This can be different for many teams and evolves organically within their context.
Empower
We work with the team to encourage a more authentic and present approach to each other, a strong focus on listening to each other, calling issues as they emerge and building on each other’s thoughts.
Outcome
Creativity emerges between individuals, fostering innovation as ideas form, evolve or simply spark from each other’s input. By now, everyone has a voice, is heard and involved. This behaviour change underpins individuals becoming accountable, taking ownership and giving their commitment to the team.
Transformation
As the team continue to shift their dynamic, their process and behaviour, innovative thinking is used to diagnose and address business challenges regardless of the context or function.
Outcome
Highly effective behaviours are used frequently, challenging issues are put on the table, diagnosed and resolved, time is saved, relationships are maintained, interpersonal conflict and politics are reduced.
The leader can step into a strategic mindset as accountability for the team dynamic is embedded within the team, leading to a focus on results and interpersonal leadership.
Impact
Throughout the journey, we will have been moving towards this stage; the transformation of the team together with the leader, ensuring a more strategic focus whilst also enabling performance, engagement, innovation and a focus on results.
Outcome
The team will have built their use of highly effective behaviours, shifting their team dynamic and process significantly, eliminating dysfunction, and ineffective behaviours
As a team they will have enabled exceptional creativity, enabling innovation needed to address current and emerging business and market challenges.
This impacts beyond behavioural, it positively affects the bottom line, building market presence and sustaining your competitive advantage.
