"A leadership approach that harnesses the tension of pressure and care" ❤️🖤
What does it feel like to be on your team? When we partnered with BOMA to create the Crusaders Leadership Programme™ we knew that we had something valuable to offer beyond the rugby field. Of course we are proud of the trophies we have won, but we’re equally proud of our deliberate intention to build and maintain an organisation-wide culture, and a leadership approach that harnesses the tension of “pressure and care”. That underpins our sustained success. Tactics and technical proficiency are required to win, but every team has access to the same data and all have talented individuals. What we believe sets us apart is the human connection created through an environment based on values and led by vision. It’s those things that create a genuine sense of belonging. Whether your team is having problems with communication, buy-in, contribution, unity, consistently delivering results, unleashing your full potential… it just doesn’t feel right. This is true in business and in sport. The Crusaders Leadership Programme™, with the likes of Wayne Smith, Robbie Deans, Scott Robertson, Kieran Read and Sam Whitelock, will give you access to the transferrable insights, lessons and practices that have helped to make us one of the world’s most successful sports teams. It might help you get your team feeling like a team. And if you can do that, together you can do anything. Crusaders
