Helping managers
tune misfiring teams
“If you have managers who can’t connect with people, the team will disengage.”
Tomas Charmorro-Premuzic, Chief Talent Scientist Manpower Group
Your organisation is facing economic uncertainty and business volatility with rising costs, recruitment difficulties and ongoing personnel changes putting productivity and margins under strain.
Your team leaders and managers are under ever-increasing pressure across the organisation to survive and thrive in difficult times. Your teams are also being pushed to deliver more with limited resources.
Managers are wasting time micromanaging issues and dealing with conflict.
Things aren’t “flowing” as they should.
You can deliver measurable improvements by focusing on quick wins – short, sharp interactions that are highly cost-effective and achieve real results. You can achieve real change quickly by focusing on the following areas:
Enhancing collaboration: relationships have been disrupted, boundaries blurred, gaps created. Get your teams working together properly again.
Team development: teamwork has suffered and will take effort to rebuild. Looking at the the way people interact, how the team behaves and uses its time together will show that you value teamwork and its contribution to your success.
Hybrid/flexible working: a mandated “one-size fits all” working pattern doesn’t really work for anyone. Work collaboratively to find models that will deliver greater engagement and productivity.
Proactive leadership : leadership and management is hard. Doing it remotely is harder still and needs a different approach. Onboarding, on-job-training and mentoring are also significant challenges. Work with us to develop the squeezed middle management.
"If issues aren’t picked up early, they can escalate and become more time consuming.”
Bill Willmott, Head of Public Policy, Chartered Institute of Personal Development

How do you get results quickly?
Finding a way to get your people talking to each other again in an open way is key. It is the only way you will find out what is really going on, rebuilding relationships, breaking down barriers, reducing harmful conflict and rebuilding teams.
You could choose to do this “in-house” – lots of organisations do it very successfully. Or you could choose to engage a credible third party, such as us, to organise the range of workshops, masterclasses and training modules needed. You could be seeing positive impact in as little as 3 hours by taking a look at our Quick Wins page.
