How Is Your Strategy & Team Really Performing?
When it comes to the performance of teams surprises are not uncommon. The manager who relies on gut instinct is particularly vulnerable.
Leaders Don’t Want Surprises
There are 3 reasons why directors/managers often face shocks and surprises regarding the performance of their teams, pipelines and strategies:
1. They are not always told everything – what other stakeholders are saying, even what team members are saying themselves.
2. There may be hidden gaps in terms of skills and process performance.
3. The view that we are performing well may be lacking any external validation in terms of evolving best practice or changing customer requirements.
The Strategy Pitstop® prevents surprises. It provides managers and their teams with a new level of insight into performance and potential. It reveals opportunities and challenges that would otherwise remain hidden. In fact the hidden potential is typically of between 7% and 12%.
