CASE STUDY
THE BRIEF: to help a leadership team in fashion retail to break from their over-busy work lives and evaluate together how to be more focused and effective, and let go of non-essential activities.
OBJECTIVES
For team members to:
- Revisit corporate culture and vision - reminding themselves what makes their company unique - and then to evaluate their own current priorities in this context.
- Use the Goal Achievement Process to agree a plan of action for meeting these goals, identifying roles and responsibilities.
- Develop self-awareness and a deeper understanding of each other as colleagues
- Build relationships and trust, thereby accelerating team performance
THE PROGRAMME
The programme was run over 2 days, away from the work environment, and included the following workshops:
- A creative session to redefine corporate vision and produce a draft document in summary
- The Goal Achievement Process (GAP) : - agreeing objectives - effective planning - identifying key responsibilities - a strategy for monitor, review and adaptation - communication to all stakeholders
- Saying 'No' constructively.
- Effective Delegation.
Following the two day event, a monthly team review meeting was established to revisit the course issues and to officially monitor progress towards the objective: working smarter, not harder.
