Top Team and Direct Reports
Developing Personal Power of the People who Manage the People

Which of your people have been previously trained to manage catastrophic change like that of the current pandemic? Any? Advance Programs, when delivered to the Top Team and direct reports together, takes on a different emphasis - the emphasis is on empowering these people managers to be leaders who are managing change in a crisis.  

Objective

Your leaders will acquire expertise in driving performance by linking your strategic response and the new behaviours required to manage rapid organisational and cultural adjustment, thereby boosting the employee 'trust and respect' required to gain followship. This heightened trust and respect helps employees to feel secure and confident in the unexpected changes being asked of them.

Advance will build 'Personal Power' of your senior people

There are 5 Types of Leadership Power and the Advance Programs focusses on building Personal Power.

Formal Power

• coercive - leaders rely on employee fear of loosing their job or promotion
• reward - leaders use their ability to provide promotion to illicit better performance
• legitimate - leaders rely on their position and title to 

Personal Power (The focus of Advance Programs)

• expert - leaders have unique skills and knowledge to solve organisational issues
• referent - employees trust what leaders do and respects their handling of tough situations​

Top Team and an External Stakeholder 
Solving Industry Challenges Together

The Advance Programs, when delivered to the Top Team and a major influencing stakeholder together, takes on a different emphasis - the emphasis is looking for opportunities to collaborate to solve industry challenges together to remove growth obstacles and address any 'Catch 22' situations undermining the mutual effectiveness of the relationship. (A 'Catch 22' is a dilemma from which there is no escape because of a mutually conflicting or dependent condition.)

Objective

By explore strategies together and developing your own Culture Circuit each party can identify how they impact one another's performance, how forces flow between them that aid and/or hinder each other's growth and how to influence a shift. We will use Advance 1 to explore and agree on industry wide strategies needed for success in the post-pandemic environment and Advance 2 to detail culture and conduct changes that would help to fuel growth and innovation to ensure survival to 2030.

​Advance provides the space for you to find 'collaboration'.
