WHAT IS DRIVE TEAM LEADERSHIP ALL ABOUT?
The Drive is about organization, process, rigor, a code of behavior and mentoring exellence.
We believe that a lot can be learned from the organization, management and staffing philosophy of the great cattle companies of the west. These companies and their leaders successfully managed massive cattle drives that dramatically changed the growth and economic success of the west.
These drives were complex, challenged by some of the harshest conditions and highly unpredictable. However, they created organizations and engrained codes of behavior that helped them achieve their goals and prosper. The Drive focuses on those management philosophies that we think are still relevant and needed in today’s challenging markets and deteriorating values and ethics.
The LEADERSHIP CODE WORKSHOPS
Our workshops take your leadership team through an in-depth discovery of the company’s codes of behavior (ethics/values) and challenges each of them to think differently about how they can become stronger and respected leaders; leaders that people will want to work for and strive to emulate.
MENTORSHIP
Mentorships is a lost concept in today’s business environment. Too many leaders and managers are focused on what’s good for THEM, versus what’s good for the company or the people that work for them. There was a time when we mentored our employees to improve their skills, take on more responsibility and develop into the next leaders of the organization. Mentorship can save organizations tons of money in severance, recruiting and time lost in manager or leadership transitions. We will provide a model of how to create a Mentorship mentality within your organizations.
BUSINESS/MARKET STRATEGY
Our strategic approach is deep and inclusive. Our goal is to fully align the entire organization around the key strategic opportunities that will make the biggest impact.
The DRIVE TEAM Alignment
Alignment to company goals and values are critical to a business’s success. Often times, companies have competing goals, which causes disruption in the business, in-fighting, politics, finger-pointing, silo mentality and ultimately poor business performance. We work with EVERYONE in your organization to ensure that they are fully aligned to the leaderships vision, objectives and behaviors they believe will give them the greatest chance for success. Without full alignment, staff will stray, and goals will not be met.
BUILDING ACCELERATION BRANDS
A STRONG Acceleration Business exists when its growth is derived from a differentiating and compelling CORE TRUTH that represents a competitive advantage that is solely attributed to that Business and to no other. Acceleration businesses deliver major benefits, including improved profitability, an increase in customer loyalty, enhanced employee pride and retention.
ETHICS ALIGNMENT
We have all seen a deterioration of ethics and their negative impacts within our society and businesses. Our goal is to work with your leadership team and their staff’s to reconnect them with a set of ethics and behaviors we refer to as The Code. A common Code will not only boost the organizations overall morale but will boost the company’s profitability and growth. Let’s face it, companies want to do business with people they respect and trust. Is your company one that your customers, suppliers and employees trust?
The DO
The Do is about creating an attitude of achievement and proactivity. Trying has nothing to do with achievement. Trying is a weak, uncommitted philosophy. Doing is more powerful, assertive and confident. We will work with your leaders to help them understand the difference between Doing and Trying and how to change the mindsets of their teams.
DRIVE BOSS EXECUTIVE COACHING
We work with CEO’s and their Leadership teams to continue the life-long process of improving how to successfully lead organizations. It’s no surprise, leaders that are self-aware and focused on the needs of the business, customers and their teams, make better decisions and achieve greater results. In addition, it’s been proven that CEO’s that engage with outside counsel are more successful than those that don’t. We have walked in your shoes, we know it’s difficult to lead a successful company. We listen, while at the same time we challenge your thinking to help you make better decisions.
BUILDING AN INNOVATION ENGINE
Innovation is the greatest asset a company has for long-term sustainability. We work with companies to establish repeatable, manageable and focused innovation processes.
