• Recognise that you’re not performing to your maximum?
• Appreciate an ‘ah-ha’ perspective gained from an observant outsider?

• Frustrated because your own attempts at behaviour change aren’t working?

• Your leadership terrain feeling all too familiar? You recognise it's time for revitalisation.

As a leader, you know when you’re ready for a fundamental revitalization. It’s re-claiming your edge, embracing the challenge of ‘nothing wrong’ to ‘everything right’. This is the catalyst needed to get the most out of yourself and those around you.

How do you achieve this? We help you overcome the six barriers to fulfilling your personal and organisational leadership development aspirations. And there are only six: lack of clarity, lack of a plan, lack of skill, environmental factors, psychological factors or in/external work environment.

We realize you’re up to it, but are you up for it? But to become the leader you and your team desire will require clarity, commitment and courage. The up-side, however, is significant: enhanced relationships, improved career prospects, satisfying results and the growth in those around you.

• Unsure as to how to lift morale and productivity?

By building on individual and team strengths, a high energy culture is created. From here innovation, raised productivity, change or enhanced relationships can be more readily sustained.

• Unhappy with real business results existing initiatives are having?
• Frustrated you can’t get key personnel to work together and perform at a higher level.

A key frustration is misdirected talent. When any team, but especially an executive team, begins performing as individuals, the challenge is to unify them.

The solution lies in recharging their focus: refresh the vision into something meaningful and significant; allocate responsibility according to key areas of passion; encourage healthy and open debate of decisions. With new-found clarity, define ownership and hold each person accountable.

• Unhappy how much the employee turnover is costing to the company?
• Spending too much time resolving team issues?
• Dissatisfied that you cannot get to the real causes of issues?

One of the primary reasons people leave and teams struggle is their line manager. Team harmony and consistent high productivity levels, within a team, begins there. Identifying the dysfunction is easy, achieving volunteered behaviour change is not.

Focusing on the problem is folly. Instead, careful re-orientation toward ‘how they want the situation to be’ is essential. We partner with the line-manager to create an environment of clarity, understanding and trust. This is then extended to the team to enable them to generate its own solutions. In this way, the team is facilitated into the levels of commitment that accelerate behaviour change.

Internal team dysfunction is an inevitable stage in their development. The real challenge lies in equipping the line manager and the team members with the skills to grow through these. With organisational results at stake, each team must be able to recover quickly and powerfully.

• How do I get my people to bounce back, and refocus?
• Worried because your market has shrunk and you have to re-invent yourselves?

The impact of the ‘Global Financial Crisis’ has impacted at every level. Restructurings and redundancies have replaced optimism with scepticism, clarity with doubt and stability with uncertainty. The pall of negativity can be contagious, and this has direct implications on staff morale and productivity.

It is at these times that strong, decisive leadership is essential. Leaders who can effectively manage their own and other’s emotions provide the transformational leadership style necessary. High Emotional Intelligence (EI) is now recognised as a key ingredient for re-establishing workplace performance and results.

Ignite Business Leadership works with leaders to develop this essential skill, both for themselves and within their team. By applying self-assessment and/or 360° multi-rater surveys, we determine key strengths and areas for attention. Coaching rapidly refocuses intention and stabilities are restored.

Improve your Emotional Intelligence with leadership coaching from Ignite Business Leadership

• Concerned at the poor level of ‘buy-in’ to strategic initiatives?
• Frustrated with the employees who are not aligned with the company’s vision?

Change is what happens externally, transition is what happens within each person. Given the unprecedented external market pressures, your ability to build an agility and resilience within your workforce can mark the difference between success and failure.

Whatever the change needed (be it a cultural shift, a lift in engagement and productivity or enhancing levels of ‘ownership’) building enthusiasm and buy-in is essential. We partner with you to clarify the path forward, and implement processes that ensure the new levels are achieved.

• Unable to shift your people out of compliance into contribution?
• Unhappy with the level of staff ownership in converting development programmes into better bottom line results?

Currently your people fit into three categories:

• ~20% are actively disengaged (subversives)
• ~60% are ambivalent (could go either way depending on the ‘loudest voice’)
• ~20% are actively engaged (enthusiastically contributing, go the extra mile)

Your key challenge is to regather the ‘ambivalents’

With an engaged work force you’ll enjoy reduced staff turnover and increased customer satisfaction; you attract top talent and outperform your competitors through improved performance, productivity and profitability.

At Ignite Business Leadership we coach the leadership team to develop a working environment that inspires the best from your people. Engagement surveys begin the learning journey that improves your bottom-line.

You can find out more about organisational engagement by contacting an Ignite leadership coach to discuss how to shift your ‘ambivalent’ staff to ‘highly engaged’.
