Management

There is an almost constant business imperative to get the most from organisational resources (in all forms). The extent to which that happens is largely down to management; the ability to manage people, to plan projects, allocate tasks, coach performance, develop teams and manage budgets.

Furthermore, organisational surveys consistently tell us that the relationship with the line manager is the major contributor to staff retention, or resignation. Therefore it is not surprising that management development is one of our most frequently requested areas for skill development.

Management topics include:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Developing Performance
                              • Leading Teams

                              • Recruitment Interviewing

Company performance is heavily influenced by the skills, knowledge and attitude of its workforce and we at Excel Communications are committed to developing these.

However there are other performance factors such as systems, processes and strategy. Innate Leaders is a business partner of Excel Communications who bring a unique combination of psychological team coaching and the best of management consulting to create long term sustainable results, tackling each of these factors.

This approach 1) grows the mindset and behaviours of leaders (the team coaching bit) and then 2) we help your people apply that mindset to solving your real world challenges (the management consulting part).

Not only do you gain a sound business solution, you also gain a team capable of implementing it successfully.

In today’s competitive business arena the pressures mean that few managers can dedicate the time to attend lengthy training sessions and those sessions may not be the most appropriate forum to address the issues involved. Yet anything that impairs the performance of a leader/manager is sure to have negative consequences for the whole business so something needs to be done. In sport and other areas of life, top professionals seek top coaching to ensure that they are performing at their best.  Why should this not be true in business?

Each confidential session is tailored to the needs of the manager on the day .

Coaching topics include:

• • • • • • Coaching on challenges and issues resulting from job promotions
          • Addressing key interpersonal relationship difficulties which are affecting performance
          • Modelling excellence of top performers so that skills can be transferred to others in the organisation
          • Assisting individuals manage change for themselves or for the organisation
          • Addressing limiting beliefs
          • Where stress or conflict is becoming an issue within, or between, teams and individuals

Many organisations are acutely aware that having top talent is no guarantee for achieving their strategic growth ambitions, without offering its human potential continual challenge and growth.

To achieve both individual and business objectives, organisations need to offer employees opportunities to learn, grow and succeed.

Therefore, it’s vital to have clear personal development plans (PDPs), which is often easier said than done!

This workshop helps by focusing on three key areas:

• • • • • • • Aligning individual talent with career ambitions
            • Initiating a process of self-directed and self-driven personal development
            • Achieving work-life harmony

Outcomes:

• • • • • • • Providing insight into an individual learning style and consequences for the development process
            • Recognising and assessing individual talents and development needs
            • Maximising PDP tools to align individual talent with career ambition
            • Increasing the power of self-directed and self-driven
            • How to develop individual accountability for achieving career goals
            • Learning how to create a healthy work-life balance
            • Increasing employee engagement and loyalty

The ultimate goal of this workshop is to provide participants with tools to focus on a few key areas – channelling their energy into what’s important to them so they can achieve greater productivity and work-life balance.

Participants journey through their daily challenges and learn to look at pressure and stress from a different perspective, improving on their productivity. With new and fresh insights, better choices are more easily made and implemented.

This can also be delivered as a keynote speech.

Outcomes:

• • • • • • • • • • Reducing stress and anxiety
                  • Identifying what’s really important to us (goals, people, aspirations)
                  • Prioritising the important stuff
                  • Learning to say no and recognising our own limits
                  • Creating space to reflect and continually calibrate our priorities
