High Performance Leadership Behaviours
The Challenge:
A local authority responding to funding cuts and a restructure needed to become a financially viable enterprise quickly. Mindsets had to shift to think in an enterprising way. A large and despondent team of managers needed to step up to the task - big time!
The Approach:
Physical Intelligence brought High Performance Leadership Behaviours to life. We gave each behaviour a body movement and throught process. These were explored in a workshop in which memorable learning and insights were drawn out through a creative physical experience. Managers were taken out of their comfort zones to re-create and represent visually some of the real dilemmas they faced. This helped to draw out hard data from emotional scenarios that they felt ill equipped to deal with verbally, or solve intellectually.
Developing Solutions, Flexible Thinking, Understanding and Openness were just some of the behaviours explored. We took, them, shook them and cooked them - to build a capacity for better performance through stronger personal and collective behaviours.
The ROI:
"A week after the programme, 20 business improvements were logged; there was an unprecendented level of enthusiasm and focus. Three months on, with vivid pictorial memories to remind us, every manager present has created a plan for improvements in their area of responsibility and submitted it to the CEO. We are really tackiling the need for a changed culture and structure now. Attitudes are contagious.....are yours worth catching?"
