The Well-functioning Leadership Team

Improve Collaboration and Communication to shape a New Workplace  

Target audience: head level, or senior leaders and their leadership team

​​

The most common dysfunction of a team or organization is the lack of communication and collaboration. This severely affects the output and deliverables, producing sub-optimal results. 

​

We can observe this behavior on a team level, where because of a lack of communication or trust, the team is not functioning well.

 

Or, on an organization level, where leaders of different teams or business units, who are supposed to collaborate together as one virtual (leadership) team instead prefer to work in silos, not leveraging each other's capabilities and resources. 

​​

To address these problems in both scenarios, I devised a novel team building approach based on mindful leadership methodologies, that focuses on increasing collaboration, and opening up communication to a new level to create a team that truly acts as one team.  

​

The training and process is designed to work over a time-frame of 6-9 months.

 

In the first 3-months we are focusing on laying the groundwork, providing the necessary training, leadership training and coaching, and collaboratively establishing common principles of collaboration and communication.

​

In the following 3-6 months we apply and live these new principles, measure our progress, and course-correct fast if needed to achieve an optimal mode of collaboration.  

​

The training will be focusing on aspects of Mindful Leadership to build up a the necessary leadership capabilities:  

​

• We are using an approach based on mindfulness to cultivate consciousness growth for the participants, to help them train their mind, and learn several proven methods to increase their self-awareness and self-reflection capabilities (MIndful Tech Leadership Fundamentals)

• We achieve a better quality of communication through increasing emotional intelligence (EQ) in each participant. 

 

This is achieved by providing training material and videos for self study, combined with bi-weekly group coaching sessions, to deepen their knowledge, provide guidance, clarify questions, and ensure fast as well as steady progress. 

​

In addition, the team will collaborate together on crafting a proposal to establish principles on collaboration, communication, and leadership on how to work together as one team.

​

In my role as a trainer I will challenge the participants, and provide impulses and ideas that strengthen the proposal. In the proposal the team will also come up with clear performance indicators (KPIs) on how to evaluate and measure progress. 

​

In my training, we deal with the following New Workplace dimensions and topics in sufficient depth and I will give you the appropriate impulses and new ideas. You can then use them directly in your company:

  

• Clarity about the meaning and purpose, your mission and the values ​​in your company: The most important question that every entrepreneur and manager should think about is: Why are we doing this here at all? What values ​​are important to us and what is our mission to make a positive contribution to this planet? It is about creating clarity about the meaning and purpose, the vision, and how we get there in order to achieve sustainable positive change on this planet - and to do it authentically.

• Clear communication: Many companies have a confused and non-transparent culture of communication. Important information is not clearly formulated or obscured in powerful meaningless PowerPoint slides. The New Workplace is defined by a clear and simple communication strategy with principles that facilitate collaboration and that everyone has quick and easy access to important information.

• Organizational Health: How do you ensure that your teams are "healthy" and that there is harmony and unity in the company instead of unnecessary power struggles and stress that makes life difficult for everyone? How can you quickly learn about problems and shortcomings and then have a basis to be able to offer targeted support when it "burns". I would like to introduce you to a comprehensive Team & Organizational Health system that can be adapted to your company and grow with you.

• Building a mindful performance culture: How can you build a high-performance culture by cultivating trust and clearly delineating responsibilities, where everyone does their best? Systematic feedback and honesty in self-reflection is a very powerful tool. In addition, we want to emphasize values while balancing results to achieve a truly mindful performance culture that does not show the typical toxic systems of a results-driven performance culture. 

• Autonomy, Purpose and Mastery: How can you build a culture of the "self-regulating" company that is based on decentralized authorities and does not require micromanagement? How do you ensure that everyone in the company can grow personally, and that the company also grows faster?

• The scalable and adaptable organization: The state of continuous change is the normal state. A company is also designed for growth. Everything is constantly changing. How can you still build a team structure that automatically adapts to the constant changes, working towards the goals, but also offering the necessary stability and support for everyone?

• Set up a data-driven system with clear KPIs: To systematically track and determine your progress.

​

Once the proposal has been reviewed and agreed upon. the changes will be rapidly implemented, and there will be monthly check ins. Group coaching sessions will continue one a monthly-interval (or ad-hoc if needed), and focusing on current challenges encountered during the implementation phase. Progress will be evaluated on a regular basis, and modifications made if needed.
