Executive Leadership Retreat
Bringing out the best in you so that you can bring out the best in others.
Day One:
Building Trust in Your Organization
An organization without trust is a chaotic organization. But don’t worry, there are no ropes courses or falling exercises. Play the “Win as Much as You Can” game and find out how competition can turn into collaboration.
People don’t want to be managed – they want to be led!
”People don’t want to be managed – they want to be led!” is a motivational assessment and presentation about changing the role of managers and leadership at all levels of your organization in order to build a committed workforce. Learn to recognize yourself as a leader as well as the myths, methods and expectations of empowering others.
Group Decision Making and Problem Solving
You’ll be taken through a simulated life or death exercise to discover the ways groups make decisions and then apply them to your group to learn methods of decision making and improve your team’s outcomes. Learn the skill of creative brainstorming to help your team think outside the box.
Day Two:
Why High Performance Teams Work
In this fun and interactive workshop, you will create a model factory using the traditional business model. This model is similar to that of the 97% of organizations that don’t last more than 5 years. We then create the same factory, but using the High Performance model. Not only will you learn the skills and tools to turn your organization into a high-performing one and you see why revenue and job satisfaction soars.
Creating Your Own High Performance Team
Now you know teams work but how do you go about creating them in your organization? And if you’ve created them, how can you make them successful? Using team building exercises and learning the types, roles, responsibilities and obstacles, you will learn how to take your work group and transform into a high performance team.
Optional Half-Day
Communication Skills
Learn alternative ways to communicate, how people’s perceptions differ, practice your active listening skills and learn ways to give and receive feedback. This is the tough stuff that we need to be reminded about regularly. Work with your team through a variety of exercises to remember how important good communication is to Leadership.
