Leading Teams Giving Businesses a Competitive Edge
The North Adelaide Football Club has utilized the services of Leading Teams this year to develop and implement a Leadership program that the group has adopted and now drive on a daily basis. The program is now used widely throughout the AFL system and now utilized by many businesses looking for that competitive edge.
The information below taken direct from Leading Teams website may give an idea as to how you may gain and sustain that slight advantage we all look for whether it be in the field of sport or business.
Success in business is not unlike elite sport. It's about optimising resources in a competitive and challenging environment. Leading Teams has helped maximise the performance of elite level sporting teams for more than 15 years. Whether it's football, rugby or basketball, success is dependent upon highly-functioning team dynamics.
Find out how you can get the best from the resources you've already got. Without doubt, the current economic climate is the toughest many of us have ever encountered. To get the best results from an elite sports team, the coaches and administrators instil a culture of excellence and everyone at the club must be aligned with the values and expectations of the club leaders.
It's the same in business. The best marketing plans and top-skilled sales people will not deliver if the team is dysfunctional. You, as leader, need to build a framework to challenge your team to be the best it can be.
The first rung of the framework is what we call a Trademark. Your Trademark is how you want to be as a team. With the help of Leading Teams, you can then start to articulate a clear and broad behavioural code that underpins your Trademark. This process will clearly identify the behaviours your team aspires to. And more importantly, the behaviours the team agrees will not be tolerated.
A poorly functioning team can be rescued. It's true. Every week we work with business leaders to eradicate the problems that bring their team down. No more ignoring bad behaviour. Or ‘managing' a poor-performer out of the team. Our method is a proven success.
So you need to ask yourself:
- Does my team have honest dialogue about our performance?
- Do we acknowledge the ‘right' behaviour rather than just results?
• Am I prepared to build a new framework for success?
We work with many courageous leaders who are prepared to ask for help. If you want to come through these tough times with a stronger, higher performing team, then give Leading Teams a call.

I hope the above information may be helpful to you in some way because at the end of the day we all want that competitive edge.
Thanks
