    The Four Forces of Disengagement

    ​People


    Working directly with the leader of the team, utilizing over 40 million sets of data, we’ll uncover the following:


    YOU

    Gain a deeper self-awareness of your leadership strengths, potential blind spots, and areas of synergy and conflict with your team.


    YOU + OTHERS

    Gain an understanding of your team’s composition, including their strengths, potential blind spots, gaps, and trouble areas.


    YOU + OTHERS + WORK

    See yourself, your team, and your strategy to identify strengths, alignment, and gaps to better align your team to your goals.

    We’ll build upon the strengths of every individual to design the best team based on the people.

    ​Process

    Achieve predictable operational performance and ensure sustainability with an effective MOS implementation.

       

    1.  Begin at the frontline

    The frontline is where active and visible improvements can be made quickly and most effectively, as it is heavily execution focused and therefore, is the first place where the effect will be evident. 


    2.  Define KPIs and targets and cascade it through the organization.

    The desired outcomes can only be achieved and sustained when the entire organization, at all levels, is committed to the execution of the MOS. Therefore, it is essential to identify KPIs and metrics and cascade them through the organization.


    3.  Focus on a clear, expected outcome

    A MOS is a permanent platform that facilitates alignment of the organization on key risk reduction and business performance improvements, priorities and goals. It must be simple and intuitive, should add minimal administrative burden and should enable consistent execution on what matters most.


    4.  Continual tracking

    By tracking those few critical actions daily that move the organization forward – a culture of performance and accountability begins to take hold of the organization, which is the grounding basis for any performance improvement culture.

    Design


    Turn any team into a high-performing team. A mismatch between a group’s behavioral style and its strategic goals can cause major problems.


    Hire


    Help leaders across the organization hire brilliantly. When you make a new hire, you create a new team. The dynamics change – for the better or for the worse. One bad hire can disrupt a winning team’s groove. Yet companies keep winging it and hoping for the best.


    Inspire


    Improve employee performance. Managers think they understand their people – when they really don’t. They manage everyone the same way, ignoring individual needs and preferences. Frustrations grow. People stew in silence. High performers leave.
