Is this you?
Our clients are companies in the Third Phase of the business cycle. They have grown successfully, employ from 50 to 250 people but have now plateaued. The approaches that previously delivered success are no longer working and the company metrics are flat or declining. Their previously great work environment is now often tense or has conflict. Staff turnover is higher and individual commitment seems lower.
Do any of these issues strike a chord with you?
- You no longer feel in control. You can no longer deal with everyone individually. Different teams do their own thing and decisions take forever to show results or aren’t followed at all.
- You’ve increased headcount but productivity is no better. People seem more focused on their own work and less willing to help each other even when they have the capacity. There are missed deadlines, excuses and frustration.
- You recruit and develop people, but they don’t stay. Staff turnover is increasing and you spend more and more time interviewing and onboarding replacements.
- There are more meetings but with less effect. There are real issues facing the business yet agreed actions are not delivered or attendees aren’t coming up with practical solutions.
- The culture of the business has changed. There used to be a team environment where you could coach people individually, but more and more you’re having to direct or even discipline for underperformance.
