Top Team Facilitation
Mike Wash, the founder of MWA (UK) Ltd specialises in Top Team Facilitation and is often called in as an Executive Sounding Board
Are any of these questions or statements familiar to you either as a Chief Executive, Director or Senior Manager?
- I’m not sure our Board (Team) share the same view of what our strategy is
- The team is made up of very strong personalities, they sometimes clash and get in the way of effective decision making
- We have all signed up for a set of values – but do we understand the implications of committing to these in the way we work as a team?
- The roles between Executive and Non-Executive sometimes becomes blurred and we are in danger of creating a them and us culture at the top
- If we knew each other more perhaps we could respect our differences an begin performing as a team better
- Do we all understand and appreciate the critical priorities and challenges facing us this year?
- My team really needs to work together but the interpersonal conflict stops us moving forward.
These questions are those echoed by Mike’s past clients. Just sometimes bringing someone in with the skills of facilitation and the experience of working at Board level can create a shift in team perspective and performance.
Executive Sounding Board
Do you ever wonder whether it’s worth it! The stress, the complexity, the demands, the responsibility. Of course not – not if you are one of the top of your profession – that’s what you get paid for! (Pause!)
Imagine you could take a couple of hours out in your busy schedule and just talk, explore, express confusion, vulnerability or anger at the unreasonable nature of your position.
Imagine you doing this in an atmosphere of total confidentiality and with a listener who can understand, empathise, spot discrepancies, challenge positively and offer perspectives that help you make sense of what your leadership actually means.
Mike has had years of experience working with Chief Executives, Directors and Senior Managers helping them make sense of the personal business world they create for themselves.
Sometimes, taking a couple of hours out of your schedule to review what’s really going around you – and how this fits in with your personal goals or vision for the business can make all the difference.
