Top Team Development

Programmes for senior managers and directors

Picture this scenario in your organisation :

... Your senior team are conscious - and concerned - that they are having some difficulty working well together. While superficially polite interactions characterise their meetings in the Exec, much of the critical work seems to take place in private conversations, through political manoeuvring, and by competing between themselves for resources (including the Chief Exec's time).

This behaviour is noticed throughout the company and has a detrimental effect on the entire operation.

The Chief Exec brings in Beacons as facilitators, to work with him/her and to assist the senior managers to address these issues, to help them learn (or re-learn) those skills needed to function well as an executive team and set the right example for others ...

We at Beacons Consultants have many years experience of senior management training and team development, and of building top teams throughout private and public sector organisations.

We tackle scenarios like the above in a sensitive but forthright manner. We recognise that the individual qualities that propel a person to senior management positions - such as strong ego, high self-confidence, independent decision making, and good specialist skills/knowledge - often get in the way of being a team player amongst other strong characters, and send the wrong signals to those managers who look to them for leadership and example.

Through an appropriate combination of :

• 360° feedback
• team development workshop sessions
• one-to-one coaching

Our objective is for the Exec to be effective role models for other teams in the organisation.

Leadership = Example

Our 1-day (Hang on! Isn't an effective Top Team more important than that!) to 3-day off-site team development workshops enable the team to initiate a process of change that will generate, firstly, immediate visible results and, secondly, a positive impact on the culture of the entire organisation.

Follow-up meetings with the team as a whole, and coaching with the individuals, help to monitor progress and to ensure that the skills are being applied.

Since your senior management team is responsible for the culture, effectiveness and morale of the entire workforce, the outputs from a Beacons team development workshop are clearly worth the investment.
