High performance happens when everyone is engaged and focused on achieving the school’s results. But high performing teams don’t just happen! They emerge when leaders ensure that everyone is valued, clearly understand their role, and can see how they contribute to the bigger picture.
When it comes to helping team members perform at their best, we often slip into focusing our attention on individuals in key line roles, and/or on those who are underperforming. We risk confusing ‘busyness’ with productivity, creating an environment where people are working – and rewarded for - volume and presenteeism, rather than for the quality and value of their contribution. This course offers practical solutions that help avoid falling into these traps.
Together we will explore how creating a leadership culture based on strategic objectives supports a clear “line of sight” that focuses individuals on what needs to be achieve, and a simple framework for analysing individual and team performance, so that people and teams are appropriately supported to deliver. The course also gives thought to the importance of dialogue in supporting high performance.
