Building culture and leading a team is a critical skill for anyone in charge of employees whether you’ve just started your career or are getting toward the end.

In a contact centre environment, for example, over 75% of managers started their career on the phones so it’s not uncommon for managers to have received little to no training in these crucial skills. Most training tends to focus on the technical skills and managers are often left to work things out on their own when it comes to building a culture and leadership skills.

But the good news is these are skills that can be learnt and they will make a massive difference to your workplace with improved engagement and productivity directly impacted.

The Building Culture and Leading a Team training course introduces leaders to the key concepts that will equip them to drive high performance in their teams. The concepts used are deliberately simple to be easily applied in the workplace and contain language hooks that leaders can use to align goals and achieve real collaboration.

6 Powerful Modules

We have built this Building Culture and Leading a Team training course to enable leaders time to learn and apply their new-found skills in-between sessions so the program is delivered over 6 weeks 1 x 3-hour workshop each week.

Each 3-hour workshop includes time to practice and all the workshops are delivered live by Australia’s leading Frontline Leadership Coach, Saul Wajntraub.

Week 1

1. Building Relationships

Successful teams have a leader who can harness all the different skills of the people in the team for the biggest collective benefit.

Constructive, useful, and enjoyable working relationships are the foundation a leader needs to establish and grow with each of their people. These relationships build by leaders taking a genuine interest in their people and understanding what motivates each of them.

Building Rapport and Trust and understanding people’s communication preferences are the key concepts used in this workshop.

Week 2

2. Having the Right Conversation

Genuine and authentic conversations are the best way to create the clear communication needed to make sure everyone in a team is on the same page. When you have the right conversation, you will find it easier to get what you need done and importantly leave the other person feeling motivated by doing the task.

The second element to clear communication is the ability to structure the conversation so information flows both ways without creating tension or misunderstanding.  Feedback is a valuable gift when given in a constructive way by someone who has your trust.  Often confusion happens due to a lack of clarity and can soon turn to disagreement and dissatisfaction.

A conversation has 2 elements; asking questions and listening to responses. If you ask the right questions, listen attentively to the replies and then respond positively to this new information, your conversation will move towards a constructive outcome.

Week 3

3. Motivating My Team

Your success as a leader will be determined by the quality and quantity of the work your team produce.

The leaders’ role is not to be great at doing the majority of tasks themselves but at ensuring that your team has the motivation needed to give their maximum effort and the support to complete tasks they may not have mastered.

Unlocking your teams’ discretionary effort is the key to leading a high performing team.

Motivation is a complex topic and we will focus this workshop on 3 elements:

  1. Who am I as a leader?
  2. How do I motivate my team?
  3. How do I have a conversation to manage performance?

Week 4

4. Planning & Prioritising (Getting stuff done)

Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of your daily activities through strategic planning and prioritising of tasks is vital to high performance.

We share 3 tools that allow you to determine what your priorities are and then how to get the most constructive action towards completing those priorities.

So much of our time is spent being busy working but then at the end of the day our ‘to-do list’ looks just as it did when the day began, if not longer. When we spend a small amount of time consciously planning the activities and outcomes we want from the day, we take control over where we invest our time and energy.

This control gives a focus that provides the clarity to prioritise the important tasks and gets the important stuff done!

Using the language of Big Rocks, the Urgent v Important matrix and Effort v Important matrix you will be able to quickly be clear on which tasks should be your priority. These tools can be used for planning but also in the moment to help prioritise what needs to happen…. now!

Week 5

5. Mindset and Running Great Meetings

An effective meeting brings relevant people together to collaboratively progress towards an objective. Having a structure and plan for how a meeting will run will help to use meeting time effectively.

Our template for running effective meetings has 3 stages:

  1. Planning – How do I set the meeting up?
  2. Handling Dynamics- How do I manage the intention of the people in the meeting?
  3. Actioning and follow-up- How do I ensure we have action after the meeting to keep moving forward.

Week 6

6. Change Leadership Through Clear Communication

The one constant a leader must negotiate to create and maintain a successful team is helping people transition to meet change.

Change presents in many forms, some at organisational level, some at a team level and some at an individual level.  Change affects people differently and their ability to transition to a new normal is greatly affected by how supported they feel from their leader.

Everyone responds differently to change and our responses are personal and unique. As a leader, you have a great opportunity to positively influence how people cope and respond to change.

Change Leadership is the focus on how your people transition from an old process to a new one. Leading through Change is action-based.

What you say is important but the time you invest in your people understanding the impacts on them is pivotal in you successfully leading in times of change.  Let’s look at how you lead people through change.

We focus on 2 areas:

  1. Transitions with BIll Bridges’ model
  2. 3 core skills

Wholeheartedly Recommended!

Review of Building Culture and Leading a Team (Private Course)

Saul’s valuable coaching and advice was instrumental in helping me to navigate a period of change in my sales team and rebuild a stronger, more cohesive team.

As a leader, it’s often that your skill-set is built from the many trials and tribulations that you’ve had over your career and often your coaching sessions with your direct manager are quite tactical in nature. Our job is to coach and support our direct reports whilst we may not affording ourselves that opportunity against the daily hustle.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Saul and to Webcentral Group for investing in its leaders by utilising Saul’s talents. Saul ultimately provided me the space to improve my effectiveness as a leader and a sales coach. It begs the question ‘why haven’t I done this sooner and why isn’t this the norm in some businesses?’.

Either way, if you are looking to drive performance, culture and help your leaders become more effective – Saul Wajntraub will help you achieve that. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
