The issue...
-
How you work as a team and operate as managers has a massive
affect on the rest of the organisation. If you can focus
people on improving the few things that will make the biggest
difference, whilst maintaining the other quality pieces, you
can make a big difference.
-
If you can be more effective in diagnosing problems, analysing
information, making decisions, following up on actions and ensuring
your staff are focused, how much difference could that make?
-
If we can bring the quality of thinking and knowledge of the
rest of the organisation to bear on the strategy, how could
that improve it without being detrimental.
-
How do we, as a management team, free up time to be more effective:
to focus on the pieces that will make the difference.

around the strategy. Management team meetings

to. This can be in the boardroom, or on the front
line.
