SeEng the scene...Virtuous Circle Vision , values & culture Succession, low maintenance/high producing teams

Again, without knowing the deep down detail, I took the away some of the themes set out in the Virtuous Circle as being poten(al hotspots for the business…

…I have ventured a few more areas where you may well turn your aCen(on to over (me.

Developing strategic and tac(cal thinking.

Value enhancing Marke(ng and PR

The insulate/escalate model

Account development strategies

Business structure, ownership and accountability

Results, agility and = sustainability

Labour plan, talent management & people development

Delivery and what involvement might look like…

In light of what we discussed – the components from the Leadership for Growth and Management Fundamentals strike me as being topical and poten=al areas where you might feel worthy of inves=ng to get the results that the business is working to achieve.

The business, quite rightly, needs to see a return on its investment Bringing in ‘outsiders’ can be a sensi(ve subject and needs to be trusted by all stakeholders It’s perfectly natural and right that the business asks itself whether this is the best use of its hard-­‐earned cash

The best people, the best performance and an iden(ty to be proud of…

People

Plenty of businesses know ‘what’ they are aiming for – some know ‘how’ – the essen(al and final ingredient of course, is ‘want’. The desire and passion that dis(nguishes an ordinary business from a great business, comes directly from the people.

The fact is however you can’t simply ‘do’ mo(va(on to someone. Having a driven, focused and energised team is achieved through a combina(on of; shared values, trust, culture, an ‘in it together’ philosophy, exemplary communica(ons and extraordinary leadership.

• Execu=ve and Management Coaching and Mentoring • High Impact Learning and Development Programs • Search and headhun=ng • Peer2Peer Exper=se • Team Building • Keys to Personal Effec=veness • Labour Strategy and Labour Provider Service Improvement

Performance

We are all about quickly delivering improvement to boCom line performance, s(mula(ng more profitable thinking, behaviour and ac(vity. Our goal is to equip organisa(ons with the tools, aEtude, confidence and mo(va(on to independently sustain the gains achieved.

• Harnessing technology and innova=on • Recovery and Turnaround Interven=on • Business Development Strategy • Remodelling, Restructuring • Posi=ve Change Management

Personality

Is it not the case that in life, our most meaningful and longstanding rela(onships are underpinned and sustained by shared values, interests, trust, lifestyle and even sense of humour?

We believe that a business can, and should work to connect with its customers on an emo(onal level, in a way that allows the customer to iden(fy with the business as something more than a corporate en(ty, brand or provider. GeEng up close and personal, builds passion and profit!
