Does your team ever feel it is looking through a glass ceiling? You can see a different way but never quite get there. Management teams are the driving force of our organisation. How often do we invest in them, help them penetrate this glass ceiling and work more effectively.
The purpose of Integrity is to provide a forum for teams to review and improve their approach to the essential components of leadership and teamwork.
These components are like separate windows through which we can view the team. As we view each component we can see ways of improving it. The forum will also represent an opportunity to share ideas and look at practical ways in which to improve the organisation.
Why Is It Important?
Integrity is never far from the headlines and there are many examples of ineffective behaviour revealed everyday in our newspapers.
Integrity can mean different things however, at an
1. Organisational level it is about the actions of its leaders and producing a result that is well integrated into the whole
2. Team level it is about integrating both the diversity of the team and the complexity of systems used.
3. Individual level it is a question of whether someone is competent in their role, honest with team members and trustworthy
Lack of integrity, honesty and transparency has huge financial repercussions. It means the management team is competing with each other rather than competing to win. Integrity is more than a feeling it is a measurable piece of performance that impacts on all decisions.
