Leading through Change

Organisations are experiencing unprecedented change and uncertainty and the need to adapt and be agile is greater than ever. Challenges such as adapting to new technology, regulations, globalization, new ways of working working, increasing competition as well as efficiencies to realise cost reductions and closer alignment to their customers’ needs.

Change is the new norm. Yet people experience significant challenges from the uncertainty of constant change. Change is only getting faster and self-leadership and strategies are needed to help people understand their reactions to change and self-regulate.

We can partner with you to deliver our Leading through Change programs to build capability for your leaders and managers to lead themselves and others through change. We can also work with teams experiencing change to help them develop a growth mindset and build resilience and adaptability to be ready to respond and thrive through change.

Remote Leadership for Sustained Performance

The world health emergency with the Covid 19 pandemic is seeing increased consideration to ensure safety of management and staff and accelerated remote work initiatives. Research indicates this change is here to stay with 75% of organisations reporting they will continue to use some form of remote / virtual work in the future. Wellbeing is also emerging as a critical daily priority for managers and leaders.

Many managers have been responsible for leading a team remotely without prior experience at this. Many team members are also experiencing very mixed reactions to the continuous threat the virus represents to their health as well as the financial and social impacts.

Leaders need to be prepared to support their staff in both the psychological safety as well as the physical aspects of working remotely. They will also need to generate ways to ensure the engagement, communication and performance of their team. 

Our program covers the 6 pillars of remote leadership that are essential to set themselves and their teams up for success. (Wellbeing, Productivity, Engagement, Connection & Communication, Performance and Culture and Belonging).

The more managers understand the way the brain works in this fight/ flight/ freeze mode and have strategies to combat this and lead through change and uncertainty, the quicker people will be able to be innovative and collaborative in their approach to the revised way of working and living.

Team Performance

From time-to-time team’s need assistance to accelerate or turn-around their performance. This may be with newly formed teams or teams that are experiencing some level of dysfunction. We can deliver a customised program that enables the team to accelerate through the stages of team formation to achieve higher levels of performance.

By applying science and understanding how our brain’s function we can enhance our behaviour, communication, innovation and decision making to build a stronger team. Ultimately peak performance is driven from our thinking and our mindsets. We help teams build skills in developing a growth mindset, recognizing and managing their emotions, creating alignment around purpose and direction and agreeing to team standards and behaviours that drive improved performance.

Resilient leaders and teams

Resilience training in the workplace is an important part of ensuring teams and individuals operate at their peak. People Innovation Consulting provides Resilience Training which incorporates a mix of neuroscience and positive psychology.

Research has shown that resilience is “the single most important factor in determining whether a person is  successful, satisfied and happy” (Shatt, 2008, The Resilience Factor).

Resilience in the workplace is usually associated with the employee’s ability to cope with the various challenges in the workplace: organisational change, information overload, restructures, downsizing, mergers, increased workload, reduction of resources, learning new technology, budget pressures or deadlines.

We help leaders and individuals understand how they can be their best to deliver their best performance. We provide tools and techniques to bounce-back from set-backs, to be able to manage stress to deliver peak performance and learn how emotion and our thinking interact so we can avoid poor decision making or responding inappropriately in the moment.
