Team Leaders™ A New Model for New Teams
Launching a new team can be both expensive and risky. If this also involves investment in a new business unit or a long term project, the risk can extend from the local and operational right through to the organisational and strategic.
Most managers and HR specialists would accept that investing in the development of a new team can deliver rapid and very cost effective payback. Sadly, in a crowded market where everything from paintballing to role playing is presented as the universal fix; the choice can be overwhelming and the value case unconvincing.
Team Leaders was launched to provide a professional and credible new team development service in direct response to this situation. Whilst maintaining much of the energy and positivity associated with traditional team building; Team Leaders use a range of proven models and techniques delivered and supported by experts with extensive delivery, management and organisational experience.
Our approach is focussed heavily on aligning team culture and performance with the needs of the business and the broader stakeholder environment. We develop teams who have the capabilities and confidence to continue to develop and grow in response to new challenges long after we have gone. Our focus is on delivering real self-sustaining value. We deliver a process, not just a programme.
Credible
Team Leaders is a joint venture between Mike Brough of Rethread Consulting and Alan Brenton, Director of Change for Real. Between them, they have over 20 years of new team development experience and 30 years of management and leadership experience in private, public and voluntary sectors. Mike and Alan hold a range of high level qualifications directly relevant to this field. They have delivered new team programmes ranging from the executive team of Britain’s best known furniture retailer to the emergency line repairs teams for a national power supplier. Mike is a member of the CIPD and Alan a Fellow of the CMI.
Business Focussed
Traditional team building tends to focus on ‘fun’ or possibly looks at behaviours. We believe these to be important baseline ingredients of an effective process, but only really a start point. We develop winning teams by:
• Working with you at the earliest possible stage to develop a clarity on the vision, structure and approach which will identify the new team as a success.
• Agreeing on a very clear view of the components of success – creating a performance dashboard which guides and supports the performance of everyone involved.
• Supporting selection and induction processes to ensure best fit with the intended outputs.
• Identifying key processes and how the team can best succeed in working with these.
A Professional, Robust Approach.
We will drive hard ensuring that these essential components are embedded, following our results focussed 3 stage process:
1. Developing a Team Vision
Working with the team to identify what they need to do and be if they are to successfully deliver value in the short, medium and long term. What are their strengths and styles and how can they develop these to build a group culture which will deliver success against the strategic vision? What do they have to do to be successful in the eyes of key stakeholders?
2. Creating a Team Brand
How does the team want to be seen by clients, internal customers and other key stakeholders? How do they create a climate of leadership and positive challenge that will ensure constant development and delivery of objectives? What do they have to believe and value in order to create the brand?
3. Generating Sustainable Performance
What needs to happen to create and sustain a high performance culture? What practical, tangible things can the team do to support, develop and sustain a culture of ongoing self and group development? How will they achieve their ‘team charter’?
A Sound, Business Focussed Process
World Class Value
We operate on a low fixed cost model. This means that we can be flexible, responsive and dynamic. We have created Team Leaders because we believe we’re good at it and the need for the service exists. We’re not junior staff working our way up to delivering leadership programmes; we’re experienced senior practitioners delivering high value outputs at a highly competitive market rate. In terms of value delivery, we believe that we’re unbeatable!
Talk to Us
We hope you’ve read enough to be interested? But you can’t put 50 years of experience and qualification onto two sides of A4 (we have tried!) You’ll find our approach to be personable, professional and very positive. In short, we believe that you’ll enjoy meeting with us.
We don’t do hard sell; it just isn’t the right approach for us. We believe in allowing our experience, track record and style to speak. In short, if you’re thinking of engaging with a team development partner, we believe that we should be the first one to call.
