WHAT IS THE EXTRAORDINARY TEAM PROGRAMME?

It’s a specialist programme designed to build and maintain team habits

We specialise in transforming groups of leaders into exceptional teams by enhancing your ability to converse. This leads to improved and quicker delivery of results.

As a team, the outcomes you achieve hinge on the calibre of interactions within and between other teams. Everything you do starts with a conversation. Effective communication is your most valuable asset. The Extraordinary Team Programme enhances the quality of these interactions, elevating your influence, effectiveness and reputation.

why is it important?

Being the leader of an organisation is no easy task. Your primary role is to attract and retain investment by continuously building a complex jigsaw puzzle that drives value for your business. This involves navigating numerous challenges:

• Communication: Ensuring clear and effective communication across the organization, avoiding silos and miscommunication.

• Alignment: Aligning different parts of the organization despite conflicting priorities and inherent resistance.

• Talent Retention: Keeping ambitious and talented individuals who are constantly sought after by competitors.

• Resource Allocation: Making tough decisions on where to allocate resources.

• Market Uncertainty: Dealing with ever-changing market conditions.

• Regulatory Issues: Staying compliant with evolving regulatory and legal requirements.

• Innovation and Growth: Driving innovation and growth while overcoming resistance to change.

• Stakeholder Management: Balancing the demands of the board, investors, and internal teams.

• Culture and Efficiency: Maintaining a cohesive culture and improving operational efficiency.

• Crisis Management: Handling crises, especially with the impact of social media.

• Technological Challenges: Adapting to technological advancements, including AI.

• Global Operations: Managing the complexities of global operations.

The weight of these responsibilities means you must have a phenomenal team that performs exceptionally. If your team isn’t firing on all cylinders, it can undermine your entire leadership narrative and lead to mediocrity. Only a top-performing team can ensure your success and the realisation of your company's vision.

Senior-level teams consist of talented individuals. However, within the processes that bring these teams together, often there's a lack of rigour in training them to work cohesively. It's akin to a sports team manager recruiting top players but neglecting team practice sessions. The potential for effective teamwork and collaboration remains unrealised. This can then lead to siloed working and a failure to achieve optimal results.

WHAT IS IT MORE SPECIFICALLY?

• It’s a programme for accelerating team development

• The team engage in specific activities that build trust and improve the way team members connect and collaborate

• It vigorously trains and builds habits that lead to clarity, engagement and commitment, while also uncovering hidden team dynamics

what is it not?

It's not your typical team-building event(s) where you engage in activities that marginally strengthen your connection and receive a handful of tips on improving teamwork. Instead, it's a specialised habit-building program tailored for leaders, designed with a deep understanding of leadership teams and the challenges they face as they build and manage organisations.

what sets it apart from other team programmes?

Our program doesn't just offer advice on how to improve interactions — it actively transforms your team’s interaction habits. Habit changing is both a science and an art, especially within a busy business environment. We go beyond surface solutions to uncover hidden dynamics, ensuring a deeper level of change and effectiveness.

what ARE SOME OF THE CORE THEMES?

We work vigorously to maximise trust, optimise communication and to ensure alignment of expectations. We also foster a team mindset focused on collaboration and growth. One of the goals is to make tough conversations easier

what MIGHT THE END RESULT LOOK LIKE?

Picture this: trust is at the best it has ever been and continually building. Tough conversations are not avoided, flow more smoothly, consistently yielding positive outcomes. Disagreements are welcomed, fostering deeper understanding. Team meetings are effective and efficient. Clarity reigns, expectations are aligned, and collaboration is a delight. Working together becomes a source of joy
