Leadership for Organisational Excellence Workshop
Thursday 2nd May
Longbridge, Birmingham
Creating a business that is “buyable”.
If you’re looking for investment, planning an exit, or looking to step up into a more strategic role, you will need a strong leadership team, that you trust, to take your business to the next level.
The instinctive first choice for many attendees at our Leadership for Organisational Excellence (LfOE) Briefings has been to promote from within, because their current team will already understand the business, the culture and their interpretation of your vision.
The most challenging aspect for all in the room was empowering the team to lead.
An empowered, autonomous team is more likely to grow the business. Potential buyers and investors will want to see that the business isn’t reliant on the founder.
Their view was to go into the process of building a senior team assuming that anyone in your business could have the passion and ability to step up – and it might not be the obvious choice based on hierarchy. Trying to identify potential as well as gaps in skills and experience that can be coached or recruited.
Sandler’s LfOE programme provides a proven approach to building a senior team to accelerate scale up.
A clear plan is vital for high performing leadership teams. Once that team is in place we will work together to create a shared vision, mission, strategy and tactics so that the whole team buys into the plan, and not just the founder or CEO. As you execute there’s a feeling of common leadership and vision.
Clear and measurable KPIs cascade from the plan and accountability is accepted by the team that populated the plan.
Remember, if you don’t hold people to account for agreed decisions and targets you create a culture of avoidance by tolerating it – which breeds resentment in high performers and allows poor performers to hide.
Why do this?
Investors are looking to back a team with energy and pace that are able to execute well, but fundamentally they need to be a team and work together well; with the right balance of optimism, pessimism, and skill set. They must all have a desire to drive the business forward.
Ultimately, whatever your end objective, by enabling your senior team to step up, you will be able to step away and work on the business, not in it.
Join us on the 2nd May to debate and explore with like-minded people.
