Optimising your people need not be so time consuming or all down to you

Getting the balance right feels overwhelming, as managers you are focused on making sure things get done, whereas leadership and talent development bridges the gap between potential and performance but finding the time is not easy. Smart organisations have learning at their core, they know that their people are the elixir of their success.

6 Steps

During times of change, fear and uncertainty take over like during rapid growth, internationalisation or changing business models. Leaders and managers face an ever increasing array of challenges and shifting priorities. Coaching puts ownership back into the hands of the individual, the group or team replacing fears with ‘can do’, A structured process that accelerates development and frees you to focus on the results that matter.

Talent optimisation can be tough if you don’t have the right approach

Getting the most from your people is never easy. It’s not enough to help just one person, the improvement must also contribute to reaching the organisations goals. Done well it creates high-performing, productive and passionate employees who feel proud to work for their organisation.

Pedro, Project leader moving into manager role

Getting the promotion from project manager to managing a number of project teams was exactly what he wanted. Extra personnel were promised but until that happened he had to manage two roles. Trying to do two jobs to his usual high standard was tough. With the right approach he discovered change is a process for which he could plan, when he shifted his thinking, accepted that priorities alter, it makes it easier to make the transition. He was able to step back, identify what was important and what would influence the organisations success.

Natalie, Finance Manager – lateral leadership opportunities for her team

According to Linkedin research 94% of employees will prolong their stay in an organisation that invests in their career development. Natalie’s organisation wasn’t in a position to promote so we explored lateral leadership opportunities or ‘moving sideways to grow’ so she wouldn’t loose her key talent. Not only did it free her to focus on her priorities but it enabled her to offer her team opportunities to network with other parts of the organisation, raising their profile and develop other skills like collaboration across functions, markets and big picture thinking.

Simon, Lead project manager – accelerate team performance

Like most project teams moving from forming to performing fast was key. We looked at how framing questions had a direct impact on their thinking as a group. Like, define the problem versus what outcome do you want? Who is to blame versus what resources do you have that will aid the solution? Helping the team re-evaluate how they process information based on how it is formulated and move into solution finding together quicker is just one approach in Accelerate2Team.

Sharon’s programme is one of a kind, it is a one stop shop for developing leadership skills which play uniquely to your strength and your career. Each workshop is engaging and exciting as Sharon helps you build the foundation for your own leadership style by identifying your values and what type of leader you naturally are.

I personally found the programme a pivotal advantage to my career as I now see what it means to be a leader in a new light, which will allow me to support my teams the best way I can. I highly recommend the programme to anyone who wishes to develop their people leading skills, as Sharon has a wealth of knowledge and her programme will offer you the support you need to develop such skills.
