The Programme for Senior Leadership Teams

Why is a high performing leadership team so pivotal?

The culture and performance of an organisation almost always mirrors what is happening at the top table. Show me a dysfunctional or low performing leadership team – and I’ll show you a dysfunctional and low performing organisation. At the very least, it will be one which is struggling to fulfil its true potential.

Conversely, if a senior leadership team is a high performing and functional one, one where there is high trust, mutual accountability, laser like focus on the things that matter and a healthy culture, it will have an exponentially positive ripple effect on the rest of the organisation.

A highly customised programme

Pivot High Performance Programme for senior leadership teams is a highly customised programme which identifies your senior leadership team’s current strengths and weaknesses and through a series of interventions, workshops and ongoing support and development, drives your senior leadership team to become a high performing one.

Drawing upon proven leadership methodologies such as Patrick Lencioni’s 5 Dysfunctions of a Team, The Wilson Learning Social Styles Inventory and other leadership research, as well as Suzi’s 20 years’ own methodologies and experience working with senior leadership teams, Suzi works with your leadership team over the course of 12 months.

Through the Pivot Programme, you will

Define your senior leadership team’s purpose and ensure buy in and clarity to that purpose for each member
Identify individual and group strengths and ensure your senior leadership team is working to capitalise on these strengths
Work with the team to identify and address group and individual weaknesses and unproductive behaviours
Build trust within the team, the cornerstone of high team performance
Implement positive team processes, norms and principles.
Build strong, trusting and productive relationships between team members.
Provide ongoing support and group coaching – Suzi acts as your leadership team’s ‘challenging cheerleader’ as you make your journey towards being the high performing team you aspire to be

If you want to see your leadership team improve cohesion, effectiveness and performance, contact Suzi to discuss your needs.

HEAR WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

I have had the good fortune of working with Suzi over the past 12 months. Her ability to coach me through many aspects ofleadership has been invaluable to me, my team and board.

Mark Rawson

Board Member at i-SITE NZ, CEO NRDA

Suzi has helped me get a whole new perspective on how I operate. Practical when I need it, reflective when it's good for me, and always supportive, I really enjoy working with Suzi.

Kay Booth

Deputy Director, Te Papa Atawhai

Our workshops with Suzi provided the team valuable insights around key differences in communication styles which, now understood, have led to better relationships, collaboration and productivity. Suzi, did a great job bringing this model to life with personal examples, and providing actionable learnings in a way that inspired and encouraged instant application. And we all had a lot of fun in the process!

Mandy Hanock

COO, Acumen PR Marketing Communications

I have worked with Suzi throughout my tenure as CEO of the Chiefs Rugby Club. I find her sessions incredibly useful on both a practical and philosophical level. I find I have a much broader tool box of techniques and strategies to apply to the often difficult task of leading & empowering people. I am comfortable touching base with Suzi at any time on a challenging issue and I invariably finish the discussion with real clarity on the solution or next step. Suzi has convinced me that every high performing CEO should engage the services of an Executive Coach.

Mike Collins

CEO, Chiefs Rugby Club

I find my regular catch-ups with Suzi hugely beneficial. I constantly have too much on my plate resulting in feelings of being overwhelmed and out of control. Suzi is a breath of fresh air, and has the ability to ask questions that cut through any confusion, getting me back on track and arming me with tools to take on the next challenge! I thoroughly recommend her as a mentor/coach to dramatically increase the effectiveness of any busy executive or person.

Shane Anselmi

Managing Director, Overland Footwear Ltd

We have been working with Suzi for a number of years for individual coaching as well as ongoing coaching and facilitation for our Executive Leadership team and most recently for the creation and delivery of an Emerging Leaders Programme over the last couple of year. Suzi has picked up very quickly how our company ticks and this has really helped with the level of comfort that our Crew feel when in her presence.

One of the best leadership coaches I know.

Weta Workshop has worked with Suzi over the past 5 years in a variety of leadership development activities. She provides individual coaching for a number of our senior and upcoming leaders.

Suzi took the time to understand us and our business philosophy, our values and our people before she went to work on helping us become better leaders and a better team. Suzi has the ability to engage at many levels within the organisation and we have utilised her unique skillset and expertise with myself, my fellow 3 suite partners, members of our Senior Management team and together as Senior team.
