Leadership Partnering has engineered a four- part
program for identifying and addressing critical
blockages in the leadership process. These units are
best utilized together but can
be applied ala-carte. |
|
Leadership Audits |
|
Your people are intelligent and
ambitious, why are sales and morale still flat? More
often than not, practical leadership influence operates
very differently than what appears on your
organizational chart. |
Individuals are promoted
from positions or roles they were good at,
but frequently are not given the kinds of succinct,
practical management tools needed to
succeed in their new responsibilities. |
Overspecialization and competition between departments has created
an incomplete picture of your overall corporate goal - inhibiting productivity
and enthusiasm. Teams and divisions
feel they are competing among themselves more than with
their true
competitors.
You can have the best product in the world, but if your
staff is unhappy and lackadaisical, your company will
never have the success it deserves. |
 |
Solid information, divorced from
political agenda, is foundational
for correcting bottlenecks, inefficiencies, wasted
effort and wasted money. An audit of the actual flow
of leadership influence allows successful firms to move
away from “what you want to hear” to
understanding
“what is” which allows you to address how these
issues can be corrected. Knowing where the challenges
and strengths lie, and what their systemic impacts are,
is key to making adjustments and improvements.
Having the framework available for immediately applicable training
for managers and team leaders saves your company the
slow and expensive process of trial and error. Employees
who genuinely feel empowered, and vital are motivated,
enthusiastic and bring benefit to
the company in a
myriad of ways.

effectiveness and begin the process of improving morale,

and productivity. 303/432- 2815 |

Reframing Training |
|
Do problems
within your department feel like “déjà vu all over
again”? Are the same issues rearing their ugly heads
over and over and over? Employees have become jaded and
morale is in the dumpster. Does
it seem like nothing is working and nothing ever
changes? The truth is - if
you keep doing what you are doing – you will keep
getting what you’ve got! |
 |
Multiple perspectives produce
confusion and conflict as individuals view the same
events through diverse frames of reference. No one is
happy and meetings become a circus of cross- purposes,
misinterpretations, and posturing – even when everyone
is basically on the same page. It may even seem like
individuals or departments are intentionally interfering
with each other. What a waste of energy, time, money and
morale! |
|
Basic Reframing instruction by a leadership
development expert can make a world of difference!
Straightforward, applicable skills and tools for
managers and team leaders should be a foundational
part of any corporate training or advancement
program. Reframing focuses on the ability to
understand and use multiple perspectives to think
about the event in various ways. |
Each
frame is distinct and powerful in its own right, but
together they can help your employees develop a
comprehensive picture of what is really wrong and
how it can be corrected. Educating and supporting
your company’s leaders in effective use of Reframing
empowers them in areas
of strategic planning, problem solving, conflict
resolution and team building.
Call to discuss how Reframing training can benefit all levels of
management and staff. 303/432- 2815 |

Servant
Leadership Training |
|
Is there more to work than just a paycheck?
Intrinsic motivation and personal job satisfaction
have the highest-level impact on employee and talent
retention. In a market where the quality, training
and experience of employees has a direct affect on
competitive advantage and bottom line, it is more
important than ever to retain your seasoned managers
and top performers! Isn’t it time to explore the
true structure and motivation of your business? What
is it employees really value? You may be surprised
at what provides them with satisfaction and
motivation.
Imagine sincerely looking forward to doing your job.
There are those special individuals who see beyond
the end of next quarter. They are aware of the
impact and consequences their decisions and actions
have on those immediately around them and in the
greater community. These people have a vision of
your company as a place where employees really do
care about their work, each other, and their
collective affect. They realize that by empowering
and supporting others, they strengthen the whole and
create possibilities that just do not exist when
individuals or teams see themselves as isolated and
in zero-sum competition with each other. By
educating and supporting managers and team members
in the principles of Servant Leadership, you open
the way to a whole new level of intrinsic
motivation, productivity, ingenuity and performance |
Most mangers and MBAs just don’t know any better.
The rote Western business model has been
mechanistic, individualistic and cutthroat since the
Industrial Revolution. Employees have been seen as
parts in a machine – to be traded out and
interchanged seamlessly. Business schools crank out
cookie-cutter approaches that leave employees
feeling they cannot trust one another and that
the only point in working is to make money.
How sad, not to mention counterproductive and
untrue! This systemic current of mistrust and
dog-eat-dog erodes creativity, production and
morale. But there is another way . . . |

Reciprocal
Benefit Portfolios |
“It doesn’t matter.” “You can be replaced!” “What’s
the difference?” What does it all mean? It means
employees do not recognize their individual
contribution or value. It means that they feel like
a cog in the wheel, that rules and discipline are
often arbitrary, and they have a “blinders on the
horse” approach to their work. Is it any wonder that
employee apathy, burnout rates and sick days are
skyrocketing?
No employee of a company is immune to
this depression and disillusion regardless of rank
or title.
How many ways could you
benefit from a clear understanding of the impact of
your personal work, your department’s work, and your
company’s impact? A snapshot of how employees
actually influence and co- create the product and
result of their team is an amazingly powerful
motivator and balm in a faceless hyper- drive world.
This kind of awareness spawns quality improvement,
intrinsic motivation, creativity, production and job
satisfaction. |

Is there life beyond the next cube or
workstation? In an effort to increase efficiency
and production, our work environments and
responsibilities have become more and more
specialized and isolated. It is often hard to grasp
“the big picture”. If reports or feedback are given
to employees, they are usually confined
|
| to
a
specific department or unit. End of year corporate
reports are frequently filled with fluff and jargon
and offer employees in the trenches little
understanding of how their efforts directly benefit
the organization. Even management with the best of
intentions, usually offers only a limited scope on
the company’s greater impact in the world. What
would George Bailey do? In the movie It’s A
Wonderful Life, George was given a unique
glimpse of what the world would have been like
without him. Unfortunately, most companies don’t
have a time traveling angel on staff. The next best
thing is a Reciprocal Benefit Portfolio
prepared by an expert in leadership development.
Reciprocal Benefit Portfolios examine the result of
an individual department, throughout the company,
into the immediate community, and into the market as
a whole. This builds employee awareness of system
integration, symbiotic advantage and individual
contribution. Talk about pride of ownership! In
business, cause and effect are frequently separated
by significant chunks of time and space. Department
specific portfolios provide a way to compress this
gap and allow employees a better understanding of
the long- term impacts of their efforts and actions.
Call to discuss the unique gift and perspective a
Reciprocal Benefit Portfolio can provide your staff
and team. 303/432- 2815 |
