About Programme

Developing Leadership Skills to Inspire Teamwork and Synergy

"Introduction: 86% of business initiatives fail due to poor team collaboration (Infeedo 2025). In complex organisations, strategy succeeds or fails at the team level. Yet most ""teams"" remain collections of individuals pursuing parallel agendas, limited by silos, unaddressed tensions and suboptimal collaboration. This program equips leaders to diagnose and resolve these barriers, fostering synergy where the whole exceeds the sum of parts—critical for executing in volatile markets. Objectives: • Use diagnostics like FIRO-B psychometrics to map team interpersonal needs and diagnose friction points. • Facilitate structured dialogues that surface assumptions, align on purpose and forge shared commitment. • Navigate productive conflict by distinguishing task debates from relationship ruptures. • Design team operating rhythms—roles, rituals, accountability—that sustain performance without burnout. • Develop a 90-day team activation plan with targeted interventions and measurable milestones."
