Problem Statement

As organizations navigate through uncertainty, the roles of Managers become even more important. These people act like guides for their teams during transitions. But as they help their teams navigate these changes, they face a bunch of tough challenges that make their jobs harder and slow down their teams' progress. Challenges that often arise that hinder their effectiveness and impede team growth include:

• The main issue here is that teams aren't always working together well. Because things are changing so much, teams can end up working separately and not sharing ideas. This makes it harder for everyone to come up with new and creative solutions, which is really important during these changes.

• Also, the leaders might have lots of great skills, but they might not always get to use them fully because of obstacles. This can create a gap between what they're good at and what they're actually able to do, which can make it tough for their teams to do well.

• In the middle of all these challenges, there's a big problem with solving issues. Sometimes, when changes are happening quickly, problems can get bigger if they're not fixed fast. This can slow down the whole process of change and make things harder for everyone.

• In the middle of all these problems, Managers might also be struggling with their own personal growth. While they're helping others, they might forget about their own development, which can make them less effective over time.

The Goals of the Program

• Cross-Functional Learning: Cultivate an environment where leaders learn from one another. By fostering cross-functional interactions and knowledge sharing, we aim to break down silos and create a culture of mutual support and collaboration.

• Continuous Professional Growth: Nurture the professional development of leaders by providing them with resources, mentorship, and opportunities for skill enhancement. This goal seeks to ensure that every leader is equipped to face the evolving challenges of our dynamic environment.

• Early Problem Identification: Empower leaders to identify and address challenges in their infancy. By giving a space to voice potential roadblocks, leaders can ensure that issues are resolved before they escalate, thereby promoting seamless operations and sustained growth.

• Obstacle Removal: Provide leaders with a safe environment to navigate through obstacles and hurdles. By identifying and with the support of others leaders can keep teams on track and momentum flowing even in the face of challenges.

• Nurturing Agile Mindset: By embracing adaptability, flexibility, and a willingness to learn, leaders can inspire teams to approach change with positivity and innovation.

• Team Empowerment: By helping leaders to foster an environment of trust, accountability, and delegation, leaders can create self-sustaining teams that excel in both individual and collective achievements.

• Holistic Growth: Encourage leaders to grow not only as professionals but as individuals. By focusing on personal development alongside professional excellence, leaders become well-rounded, empathetic guides who inspire growth at all levels.

Program Components

• 360° Review Kickoff Assessment: Before embarking on Team Growth Program journey, we kickstart the process with a comprehensive 360° review. This assessment serves as a foundational snapshot of your leadership capabilities, helping us tailor the program to the organization's specific needs. Through input from peers, superiors, and team members, we gain insights into the Manager’s strengths and areas for development. This initial assessment paves the way for personalized coaching and mentorship, ensuring that the program addresses their unique goals and aspirations.

• Group Supervision Meetings: Engaging in regular facilitated face-to-face gatherings where Managers convene to address challenges, share experiences, and collaborate on solutions. These sessions provide a platform for open discussions, retrospectives, perspectives, post-mortems, etc. By leveraging the collective wisdom of the group, issues are identified early, roadblocks are dismantled, and innovative strategies emerge.

• Mentorship: Sharing the insights, experiences, and best practices by experts. Through mentorship, participants gain a deeper understanding of effective leadership, Agile methodologies, strategic alignment, etc.. This knowledge exchange fosters growth and nurtures a culture of continuous learning.

• Personal Coaching: Experiencing holistic coaching approaches that empower external coaches to guide participants on their growth journeys. Utilizing the Gallup approach and Gestalt approach, coaching sessions focus on personal and professional growth. External coaches offer a broader perspective to help participants navigate challenges in all aspects of their lives, not only the performance in the company which in turn help the leaders to grow holistically.

• Ongoing 360° Evaluations: Continuous improvement is at the heart of the Team Growth Program. Therefore, 360° evaluations are conducted every six months to monitor the team's progress and development. These periodic assessments provide valuable feedback and insights from peers, superiors, and team members, ensuring that Managers’ growth remains a dynamic and ongoing journey. These evaluations serve as compass points, guiding the program's customization to meet the organization’s evolving needs and aspirations.
