Six Critical Organizational Elements

Defining Clarity between the team on the six critical organizational elements

In order to drive the organization towards health, the team must obtain clarity around the most important questions that stand at the foundation of the organization. These six critical questions will be addressed during a team retreat through discussions and activities lead by our expert organization health consultants and using the input from all the stakeholders. The six critical questions that will constitute the playbook are:

The Journey to Define and Sustain the New Clarity

    Blended Active Learning Approach

    A unique approach from ABAMI

    Blended learning

    Group Coaching

    Reflect on your experience and learn from the experience of others

    The objective from this session is for participants to reflect on their experiences and learning throughout the active learning phase. During this session, participants will continuously get feedback on the use of the modules covered at each stage. This session will also be the platform for participants to:

    • Learn from each other’s success stories and also know how to overcome the challenges faced
    • Continue building their portfolios through learning from the experiences of their challenges
    • Identify areas where they need further information to be better at the particular competency
    • Understand tips to tackle challenging objections / situations
    • This will also be a forum to capture interesting ideas and approaches that can be implemented at work
    • It will help them appreciate people who differ from them

    This group coaching session is conducted after each stage of the journey. The facilitator’s role in this stage is to observe, facilitate and guide the sessions. Facilitators will also link all the situations and assignments to the workplace environment; they will continuously give feedback to all participants to maximize the learning experience.

    During the session, each participant will present their individual experiences with putting the modules content to use. The content of the presentation will be as follows:

    • The Situation
    • The Action taken
    • The Learning derived

    Participants will use the feedback sessions to continuously develop and build their own portfolios

    All the remaining participants will derive learning from the discussion that happens after each presentation.

    Developing your Happiness Muscles

    Sample competency development journey

    Overview

    We at ABAMI believe that happiness is often mistaken for momentary gratification rather than a focused journey of long term fulfilment. In line with our mission, we strive to support individuals, teams and organizations build resilience using “intentional action” from which true happiness can be found.

    Objectives

    This program aims to provide the tools needed to begin the life long journey of choosing happiness. Awareness of your current state, discovering the lights and shadows that frame you, understanding their impact and developing actions that will maximize your potential for happiness.

    Soft skills training

    Team Coaching sessions

    Building a high performing team

    Team Coaching is primarily focused on accelerating the process of functioning as a High-Performance Team, to ultimately achieve organizational goals. As such, it is coaching for performance of the team, to meet organizational goals and results.Based on the participants awareness about their team dysfunctions, strengths and weaknesses, they will understand the tools & techniques to overcome their dysfunctionalities by holding each other accountable to achieve the team objectives. Learning how to build vulnerability based trust, overcome the fear of conflict, and how to gain commitment of other team members .

    Coaching centres around people (the team), purpose (of the team), team leadership (style and directions), process (communication flow, team structure, roles and responsibilities) and team influences (engagement with others, environment, vision and mission).

    After completing the team coaching sessions, participants will be able to:

    • Realize that teamwork remains the one sustainable competitive advantage that has been largely untapped in organizations
    • Learn as a team and as a leader, how to build a high performing team
    • Understand how to overcome a lack of trust among team members
    • Identify ways to help a team move away from situations where there are false harmony, and give them knowledge of how to engage in and manage conflict as an engagement tool
    • Force clarity and closure on issues so that team members are more committed
    • Help team members and show the ways of confronting difficult issues so that they can hold each other accountable.
    • Link it all to achieving organizational results
    • Follow a clear concise and practical guide to using the five dysfunctions model to improve your team
    • Understand steps to be done to achieve the real power of teamwork

    The content of the team coaching sessions would depend greatly on the results of the team diagnostics

    The foundation for the sessions will be the ABAMI Effective Team Member model.

    The ABAMI foundation for the Leadership Development is the High Impact Leader model

    The recommended modules to be covered are:

    • The Role of the Leader in Engaging the Whole Person
    • Leaders Role in overcoming Team Dysfunctions

    • Problem Solving as a Team
    • Aligning the team towards achieving results
    The ability to know one self, what motivates me and drives me to success.  My values, aspirations and my vison of me.

    The first step to effective leadership is knowing oneself. Self-Awareness is essential to allow leaders to lead from their inner strength whilst confronting their weaknesses, developing their strengths and building healthy relationships built on trust. Knowing and leading self allows leaders to stay open to new ideas and constructive criticism. While being aware that the development journey is a never-ending exercise.

    By looking inwards, we look at one’s preferred style and the strengths and weaknesses associated with their preferred style. This creates awareness for areas of development or understanding where complementary talent is needed. Leaders will be guided to become aware of their own inner core values, talents and competencies allowing them to understand the source of their personal credibility and to lead effectively and consistently from within.
     
    Inspiring a common vision and instilling a winning organizational culture.

    Once you can lead self, you can now connect with and lead others. In this component, the leaders develop their ability to build meaningful relationships with their peers, their team members and their leaders to obtain the best results. To enable leaders to do this we equip them with an understanding of team dynamics, emotional intelligence, conflict handling, influencing skills and an understanding of the concept of the whole person. Leaders develop their talent to deal and appeal to different people in different situations to help them to evolve.
     
    Adapting your leadership style and behavior to engage, motivate, develop and influence others

    The leader’s role is to ensure the organization is agile and resilient to deal with the myriad challenges of a fast-changing environment. In this aspect, we focus on building the leader’s ability to align his team with the organization’s vision and strategy. To develop the direction, communicate it and align others to it. And when circumstances change, redirect the organization to a new more effective path to achieve the desired results. All the while building a positive performance based culture.
     
    The ability to not just foresee obstacles in the distance, but be adaptive enough in the market to continue to meet customers growing needs.

    This component focuses on the leader’s ability to read and influence the landscape while adapting the organization’s direction accordingly. To be aware of the global as well as local trends, and can be adaptive to make the organization ready to respond appropriately to remain at the forefront. To always be focused on meeting customers growing and escalating needs, and finding innovative ways to respond to the market dynamics.

    High Impact Leadership Model

    Effective Team Member Model

    This model is the foundation for developing effective development journeys

    Developing effectiveness and a high level of engagement of each team member in the organization is essential for achieving success in this new & fast changing world. At ABAMI, we work on the two facets of building healthy & smart organizations by developing high impact leaders and effective team members. We have put together a model for each one and we have designed a portfolio of modular services to tackle both aspects.The Effective Team Member needs to tackle a number of aspects on their development journey:

    • Build Self
    • Connect with Others
    • Aligned with the Organization
    • Aware of the Landscape

    By developing around the model, young and upcoming business professionals will become effective team members and serve as the seeds for the future leaders of a healthy & smart organization.

    Soft skills training

    An effective team member starts by building self, being aware, identifying their preferred style, their own purpose & vision leading to their commitment to the things they value most.

    Next, for a team member to be effective they need to connect with others by building relationships, earning trust, being empathetic and all together being a member of a high performing team period.

    By being aligned with the organization, an effective team member understands and values their role. Are able to focus on the team results and have a winning mentality in the face of ambiguity. By being aligned, a team member sees opportunity in change and fosters ownership for their own action & that of the team period.

    Finally, to be aware of the surrounding landscape, driven by market demands & have the business acumen to make sound decisions that are innovative and capitalize on opportunities.
