Building a Great Team

Maximising Motivation

When we feel motivated and engaged by our work there is a real energy and excitement that drives us and inspires us to press on and overcome any challenges. Our passion and motivation can be hard to articulate but we know when it's there and, crucially, when it's missing.
 

Motivational mapping is a tool that increases the self awareness of each team member, enables you to understand what motivates each member of your team and why they behave like they do. It will also give you a measurement of how motivated your team is currently and specific strategies that will encourage each member and enable them to achieve their potential.

I can deliver:

• Individual motivational map and 1:1 coaching feedback for each team member with specific strategies to increase motivation and engagement
• Team motivational map feedback for the team leader to help understand the team, any areas of internal conflict and how to resolve them, how to motivate and inspire the team and how to maximise each team member's contribution
• Team motivational map workshop to help members understand and encourage one another​
• For larger organisations, understanding the characteristics of  the different teams that make up the organisation and how these teams interact

Measuring Success

Your strategy defines how you are going to succeed and a great strategy can be clearly articulated by every member of your team and the wider business. With a clear strategy in place you can stay focussed on what you need to do and, just as importantly, understand what you don't need to be doing.

Having a clear idea of what success looks like for your team means that you can establish clearly defined metrics to monitor and measure your progress towards your goals.

I can deliver:

• Clarity around your strategic anchors and how they can be used to answer any business decision
  
• Creation of a flywheel using these strategic anchors where each action builds on the last to produce increases momentum in your business
• Clarity around what your team focus needs to be for the coming season
• A clear 1-3-5 action plan for each team member to produce clear focus on where to invest their efforts for success
• Creation of a Balanced Score Card that works for your business and gives you the information you need to measure performance
• Ongoing review of your Balanced Score Card and analysis of what is and isn't working and what strategic or operational adjustments might be required

Strengthening Foundations

Foundations take time to build and can feel like the unseen work of building something great. Strong trust is essential for building the resilience that can withstand the storms and challenges of business.
A team built on trust, the ability to engage in conflict well, a commitment to each other and the mission of the team, accountability and results has the foundations that it needs to succeed.

I can deliver:

• Team workshops based on Patrick Lencioni's work on cohesive teams looking at each foundation and how to strengthen it
• Team coaching around areas that need developing
• 1:1 coaching for team members around any areas that create a challenge
