How are you and your staff progressing in mastering application of leadership principles? Principles that are necessary and critical to perform the mission entrusted to them? The leadership mission of developing personnel and achieving the organization’s business goals? While leadership is not complex, it takes effort and focus to master the principles. Most of us focus on our “to-do list” each day, as the key to success. But advancing to larger and more challenging roles, requires advanced skills. Skills we use as an individual contributor, and then as a team leader, won’t suffice as a director over multiple functions and multiple teams.
I can support you and your team in advancing leadership skillsets to meet increasing responsibilities.
Are you and your team operating at peak efficiency? What are the issues impacting performance? How are you assessing and resolving those issues, or helping others do the same? Many issues, such as the fear of failure, can hold us back from implementing ideas or plans. Issues that are irrational, but are always real. But members can overcome then once recognized and addressed. It takes a trained coach to ask the right questions to uncover issues so the member can develop a plan to move forward.
I can help your team members raise their productivity by employing tough questions to uncover those issues.
How are your team and personnel functioning? Are they integrated in achieving the organization’s mission, putting the larger goals above their own? Or are they working in functional stovepipes, requiring senior leadership attention to resolve friction between functions? And how are you assessing the leadership capacity of your team? There are clear signs that signal problems, but many times they go either unnoticed or unaddressed. Those issues can be stealing productivity from your team and destroying trust between your leadership.
Utilizing various leadership assessment tools, I can help you gauge if issues exist and develop a plan to resolve them.
Leading teams to achieve organizational goals is one of the toughest challenges we face. They say leadership is easy, until people get involved. But leadership is about people, influencing them to take specific actions, thus it is not easy. And every situation is unique. The best leaders have a group of peers which whom they can discuss situations and get feedback. A group that is founded on common principles.
I facilitate MasterMind groups founded on Maxwell Leadership principles and provide this forum in a confidential setting.
