Developing Your Organisation

Building High Performance Cultures

We believe that the overwhelming majority of people come to work to do a good job. Time and again however, we see organisations who are not delivering on their performance potential for one reason or another.

Many times the root causes can be traced back to how well the organisation is setting itself up for success. If you get the right quality of leadership in place throughout the organisation, (not just at the top), and create the conditions to allow them to contribute fully, then the translation to organisation performance is predictable. It's not the full answer to high performing organisations, but it is a key component!

So, for your organisation...

• How would you describe the leadership you need to create the business success you want?
• Have you got the calibre of leaders capable of delivering it?
• How many role models have you got?
• How do you know? How do you measure this?
• Do you have the leadership strength that attracts the best new recruits?
• Do you suffer relentless poaching of your best talent? If not, why not?!
• Are your current leaders working at the edge of their potential? (or even their current capabilities)…….How do you know?
• Is it OK to deliver the results, yet behave dysfunctionally?
• Do you courageously and consistently link the WHAT of delivery to the HOW of leadership behaviour? What would your people say?
• Do good people get on?
• How much differentiation is there between the (real) consequences of great and poor performance?
• Do you differentiate rewards consistently on performance?
• What happens to people who consistently under-perform?
• Do leaders take their development seriously?
• How well supported are they?
• What quality of coaching and feedback do they receive?

There are huge risks associated with not having convincing answers to these questions...and huge prizes to be won for excelling. When you think about it, what can be a higher priority in your organisation?

So, what will success create for you?

Amongst other things...

• Stronger leadership bench strength.
• Much more vivid picture of talent in the business.
• Capacity to grow your own leaders and attract the best.
• Aligned leadership effort and focus across the business.
• Enhanced motivation and commitment…..through much stronger clarity of (organisational and individual) expectations.
• Leadership behaviour change….to maximise performance.
• An enthusiasm for all leaders to get and give of their very best.
• A capacity to manage your leadership talent to make the best use of the resource you have available.
• An environment that paints a compelling picture of 'what success looks like' and then supports if from every angle. (Links to Goal setting, Reward, Communication, Succession, Retention, Development Plans and so on).

How we work with you

We work alongside you to understand what you want to achieve and the implications for your leadership and performance culture. We do this by:

• Reviewing your current Performance Management related processes, tools and practices.
• Assessing their real business impact.
• Redesigning/adapting your processes, tools and practices.
• Creating joint plans for implementing change.
• Securing the active sponsorship from your top leaders.
• Working with your senior leaders to help them to understand just what these changes will take from them

We will help your leaders to recognise this isn't just another initiative...it's every leader's day job and part of a rigorous and long term commitment to creating the success you want by creating a performance culture that works for you.
