What does it mean to you
68. The DNA of a Team
• How to build a team to WIN
69. The A Team
In 1972, a crack
commando unit was sent
to prison by a military
court for a crime they
didn't commit.
70. The A Team
These four men
promptly escaped from
a maximum-security
stockade to the Los
Angeles underground.
71. The A Team
Today, still wanted by
the government,
they survive as
soldiers of fortune.
72. The A Team
If you have a problem,
if no one else can help,
and if you can find
them, maybe you can
hire the A-Team.
74. The key elements of its effectiveness: a
cigar-chomping master of disguise, an ace
pilot, a devilishly handsome con man, a
mechanic with a Mohawk
and an amazingly sweet van.
The A-Team went off the air in 1987 –
still wanted by the government –
but television has never produced a
better blueprint for team building
75. Clear Roles
Those particulars might not
translate to all business
settings. But clear definition
of roles is a hallmark of
effective Team Work
76. Team Size
• The A Team was only 4
• A little small
• France and England, which bloodied each
other for centuries before they noticed ...
Germany.
• Perhaps a little bit to big
77. Team are Universal
• Another universal
characteristic of
teams
• Universal
• If you work for a
living, I’ll
guessing you
interact with
other humans.
78. If you think this is mushy stuff? Think again?
• Sony. CEO Howard Stringer
• Trying to restore the fighting spirit (and
higher profits)
• Building on decentralized teams.
• Their theme: Sony United.
79. Other examples
• The team that built Facebook or Google
• The cutthroat yet symbiotic pack of cyclists in
the Tour de France
• GB Olympic team
• I could go on and on
80. The DNA
Each of these stories challenges
a piece of conventional wisdom.
If "hire great people" seems like
great advice BUT?
81. Apple and Steve Jobs
• Steve Jobs said “Hiring the best is your most
important task” Excerpts from In the Company of Giants
•THIS IS CRAP
• He also went on to say “Great things in
business are not done by one person, they are
done by a team of people.“
60 minutes in 2003
82. The DNA of Teams
The fact is, most of
what you've read
about teamwork is
Crap, Rubbish
83. Example
• August 2008, Manchester City Football
club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United
Group.
• There spent in 9 months $200 million
• City finished the season in fifth position
in the Premier League
• But there had the top players in the
world?
• It has taken them season to come
together and work like a team
84. So where do you start
Tear down those treacly motivational
posters of rowers rowing and pipers piping
85. The DNA
• I am certainly not against the concept of
teamwork
• But that's the point
• All the happy-sounding twaddle obscures the
actual practice of it
• Teamwork is a practice
86. Great teamwork is an outcome
You can only create the
conditions for it to flourish.
Like getting rich or falling in
love, you cannot simply will
it to happen.
87. The DNA
Becoming skilled at doing
more with others may be
the single most important
thing you can do
88. The DNA
• You have to learn to be a team
• You have to have clear roles
• You have to have clear objectives
• You work on people strengths not weakness
• You work to work together
90. The DNA
If you put a group of children in a
room to solve a problem, the
typical result is one kid dominating
and others looking totally
disengaged
Its not a team
91. The DNA
• But if teachers take the time to establish
norms - roles, goals, etc. - not only will the
children behave according to the new norms,
but they will enforce rules on others within
the group.
• There will work as part of a team
92. The DNA of team building
• Structure
• Roles
• Objectives
• Aims and goals
• Practice
• Communication including listening
• Lead by example
93. The Paper Tower
• 5 mins to think
• 3 mins to build
• Don’t waste time, agree as a group and work
together as a team
95. Creating a Mentoring Culture
In a mentoring culture, eight hallmarks build on and strengthen each other. All
are present, at least to some degree, however they manifest themselves
differently depending on the organizations previous success with mentoring.
When each hallmark is consistently present, the mentoring culture is fuller
and more robust. As more and more of each hallmark is found in an
organization, the mentoring culture becomes progressively more sustainable.
96. The Eight Hallmarks of a Mentoring Culture
• Accountability.
– setting goals,
– clarifying expectations,
– defining roles and responsibilities,
– monitoring progress and
measuring results,
– gathering feedback, and
– formulating action goals.
• Alignment.
– When mentoring is aligned within
the culture, it is part of its DNA. A
shared understanding and
vocabulary of mentoring practice
exists that fits naturally with the
organisations values, practices,
mission, and goals.
• Communication.
– Communication is fundamental to
achieving mentoring excellence
and positive mentoring results. Its
effects are far-reaching; it
increases trust, strengthens
relationships.
– It creates value, visibility and
demand for mentoring.
• Value and Visibility.
– Sharing personal mentoring stories,
role modelling, reward, and
recognition
– Leaders who talk about formative
mentoring experience, share best
practices, and promote and
support mentoring
97. The Eight Hallmarks of a Mentoring Culture
• Demand.
– When it is present, there is a
mentoring buzz, increased interest
in mentoring, and self-
perpetuating participation
– Mentors become mentees and
mentees become mentors.
• Multiple Mentoring
Opportunities
– In a mentoring culture, there is no
single approach
– couple group mentoring with one-
on-one mentoring; the learning
from one reinforces the other.
• Education and Training
– Continuing mentoring education
and training opportunities are
strategically integrated into the
organization’s overall training and
development agenda.
– Existing training platforms support
mentoring and vice versa.
• Safety Nets
– Safety nets provide just in time
support that enables mentoring to
move forward
– Review and gain feedback, have
open meeting with regard
mentoring.
99. The three leaders
• Trait Theory
– Some personality traits may lead people naturally into
leadership roles. This is the Trait Theory.
– Small number of people
– True leaders are rare
– This is because the combination of skills, personality
and ambition essential to leadership are difficult to
develop and exhibit
100. The three leaders
• The Great Events Theory
– A crisis or important event may cause a person to
rise to the occasion, which brings out extraordinary
leadership qualities in an ordinary person. This is the
Great Events Theory.
– We may not known we have it, but through a crisis it
comes together
101. The three leaders
• Transformational Theory
– •People can choose to become leaders. People can
learn leadership skills. This is the Transformational
Leadership Theory.”
– The Transformational Leadership Theory is the one I
believe is correct for most leaders today. This belief
forms the basis for my thinking about leadership.
102. So how to become a leader
• The first, and most important characteristic, of
a leader is the decision to become a leader
• Leaders decide that they want to provide
others with vision, direct the course of future
events and inspire others to success
• Leaders people follow are accountable and
trustworthy and there don’t blame others for
there mistakes.
103. Leaders have followers
• Followers need to believe that, at the end of
the journey, they will be recognized and
rewarded for their contribution
• The leader must help followers answer the
question, “What’s in it for me”?
• Successful leaders are honest about the
potential risks
• They communicate information clearly
104. Positional Power
• CEO, Department Head, Business Founder
• Leadership qualities combined with positional
power magnify the ability
Question for you all
Does positional power make you a great
leader?
106. Motivation
• What do people work for?
• Love
• Personal Fulfilment
• Accomplish Goals
• Meaningful
• Meeting people
• Challenge
• Interaction
The reasons for working are as
individual as the person.
108. Whatever you call it:
compensation, salary, bonuses,
benefits or remuneration,
money pays the bills.
109. Money provides housing, gives
children clothing and food, sends
teens to college, and allows
leisure activities, and eventually,
retirement. To underplay the
importance of money and
benefits as motivation for
people who work is a mistake.
110. If you provide a living wage for
your employees, you can then
work on additional motivation
issues. Without the fair, living
wage, however, you risk losing
your best people to a better-
paying employer.
111. But that’s not what its all about?
• Money makes us go to work, but it does not
make us work?
• People don’t leave for money, we have to pay
people a fair wage, but there never leave for
money, there will not look for other work
because of money, therefore there don’t leave
for money.
112.
113. You the Manager that’s the
Secret
The keys to financial success and a
profitable business are not the strategies
or the systems of the firm. The character
and skill of individual managers, who
practice what they preach, and recognize
the manager's role in coaching
employees
114. Its all about the Managers
• If a business wants its people to make a lot of
money for them, then it must set high
standards and give employees something they
can get excited about. These employees must
be managed by someone who is trustworthy,
cares about people as well as the business,
and acts with integrity.
115. Key employee retention is critical to the
long term health and success
of your business
Employee Retention
116. Please Note
• The Baby Boom
• Aged 40 to 58 the baby boom
• Aged 25-34 generation X
• World wide problem, over the next 10 years
more people will retire and there will be less
workers.
117. Employee retention is one of the
primary measures of the health
of your organisation. If you are
losing critical staff members, you
can safely bet that other people
in their departments are looking
as well.
118. THIS COURSE WILL HELP
Everything we are doing will help with keep the right people
119. THE BIGGEST MISTAKES
lack of clarity about expectations,
lack of clarity about earning potential,
lack of feedback about performance,
failure to hold scheduled meetings, and
failure to provide a framework within which the employee
perceives he can succeed.
120. How much money would you like
to safe in your department?
So a question for you
121. How much does it cost to
employee a new starter
Take your role/job, what is the
cost to employee you?
122. Cost to employee
• Write job specification
• Design advert
• Advertise the job
• Sort through
applications
• Hold interviews
• Do induction
• How long does it take
before you are at 100%
• How many people are
part of the process
• How much does it all
cost in $
123. Work out the following
How long in time?, how many
people?, and how much does it
cost?
In your groups

long term health and success
of your business
