Formal Leadership & Team Development - The Highest Return On $$$$ and Time Investment Ever
Hiring for talent alone and/or putting individuals in their roles without training has become a thing of the past. That’s used to work ok-decades ago. The best, most forward thinking organizations recognize that to maximize the skills and abilities of their people-in biz, athletics, education and law enforcement, requires providing continuous forms of comprehensive leadership and team training. And from my experience working with those organizations, they operate at a very different level with a much more positive vibe.
We expect everyone will do and bring their best, but when we don’t provide a common way of working together, we get lots of individualized focus. That’s great in terms of diversity of thought and experiences, but it’s not effective when it comes to providing a common and focused means to build culture, team chemistry, communicate adaptively, make decisions, lead change and work through degrees of conflict-just to name a few areas.
Todays highly competitive and radically changing environments demand a more formal investment in ensuring organizations, schools and teams have a common way of working together. Commit to making the investment. It will be the single best, highest leverage investment decision you make. It will also show your people you are committed to constant learning and their personal growth, which will differentiate the “brand” of your organization, helping you ATTRACT and RETAIN talent.
