The foundation of high performance.
Mastering the essential disciplines of people leadership to improve performance, consistency and culture.
Our Client
A national not for profit organisation undergoing significant growth, investing in the capability of its leadership team to strengthen consistency, performance and employee experience.
Challenge
Leaders were required to elevate their capability quickly to operate under increasing expectations. Many were technical experts with limited formal development in the fundamentals of managing people. Expectations, performance conversations, accountability and communication varied significantly across the organisation, creating inconsistency for both employees and leaders. The nature of the workforce was that it was resistant to changes in work and workload resulting in significant grievances.
The organisation wanted to build a common management standard that would support performance, reduce people risk and improve leadership confidence.
Our Approach
We customised and implemented our Management Fundamentals program focussing on the core disciplines every manager requires before leadership capability can be effective.
Built around contemporary people management practices, contemplating the complex industrial landscape, the program established a common language and provided practical tools covering communication, driving accountability, managing performance, coaching, HR literacy, and emotional intelligence. The emphasis was on creating lasting capability that managers could apply immediately in their day to day leadership and taking a proactive, not reactive, mandate to managing people effectively.
Impact

Increased manager confidence in leading people and navigating difficult conversations.
