Quadrant Descriptions
Leadership
Quadrant One: IAM
Who you really are, your self image, beliefs, emotions and values defines and informs all other aspects of your behaviour. Through increasing your self-awareness and gaining insight and mastery in these areas gives you control and direction in your life.
There are a number of key qualities that go to make up leadership. Among the most important is the principle of personal vision. When your personal vision is aligned to the company vision/mission you become both a beacon and an attractor of positive energy, thought and action. Another key quality is the ability to think clearly under pressure. Many good managers can make decisions when the pressure is off and that is the difference. To be able to make the right calls and inspire groups and teams at the right time can turn back the tide of adversity and produce a winning performance.
In this module you will expand your concept of who you are. It will increase your self-efficacy and broaden your scope of awareness. You will get important personal insights into your values, beliefs and core motivational drivers. The more you explore the vast untapped potential that is you, your confidence and self–esteem increases in tune to that realisation.
A key element of this module will be the level of mastery you will achieve over your body and your mind. Quite apart from being able to manage stress and pressure, you will have greater access of both your conscious thoughts and the power house that is your unconscious mind.
Engaging in Quadrant One You Will:-
- Intensify your powers of concentration
- Consciously tap into your inner signals for decision making
- Increase your intuitive capability
- Increase your emotional intelligence (EQ) and manage stress rapidly
- Face difficult situations and conflict with calm authority
- Develop your mind and become more innovative and original
- Become more strategic in thinking and in action
- Develop your charisma and authenticity
- Build robust and creative relationships with others
Acquiring a deep understanding of yourself and your true potential is the hand - book to understanding how to bring success and enlightenment to yourself and to others.
Quadrant One is the quadrant that informs and drives.
Leadership
Quadrant Two: I DO
In the final analysis we are all measured and judged by what we do - our authenticity, skills, achievements, trials and successes. We are also judged by how we do it.
One of the most basic and empowering realisations that we can have is that intention is not action. Many people operate out of a positive intent but many fail to follow through and do the key things that must be done. Sometimes this is out of lacking self-awareness. Sometimes people just mix up that intending to do something (communicate better, listen, ask questions, slow down…..) is enough. It isn’t!
Our behaviours are how other people judge us:
Are you 100% clear about how you come over to the people you work with and influence?
Do you have a written and mental plan for how to perform at your peak in times of pressure and when under stress?
Can you walk and talk through your strategies for influencing the principle people in your life?
To be successful in any form you have to display the behaviours that are congruent with who you are, who you want to be, and what you want. This is true at an organisational, group and team level, and also a personal level. Doing is the expression of all the Quadrants. It is also the final step between yourself and the results you get – for better or worse.
Through exploring Quadrant Two you will:
- Take your broader personal, management and leadership goals to the final solid behavioural level
- Explore and develop the skills and behaviours to be able to turn a personal limitation into an opportunity for even higher performance
- Build up the vision and confidence to take more difficult actions that are needed when your personal resourcefulness is normally limited
- Define the specific measures for your own high performance as well as the signals that will tell you if you are going off-track
Quadrant Two is the quadrant of the solid practical work that is needed to bring your focus into hard personal and business results. It is the quadrant that delivers.
The Power of Teams
Quadrant Three: WE ARE
When the experience of we are is a true reality it is an extraordinary phenomena - whether it is between just two people or a dozen. The we are factor, is the distinction between an average performing group or team and those that are world class.
Every organisation strives to create effective teams and team-work. This is because it is almost impossible to scale up the organisation without teams. To produce outstanding results the drive, commitment and spirit of individuals has to be aligned and engaged.
However, effective teams do not form through an accident of nature. They can evolve over a period of time but do you really have the time to wait for this process to occur organically? In today’s workplace, where constant change and flux is the norm, a team rarely is stable enough for real teamwork to occur. If we are to be effective in bringing people together to achieve outstanding results, we have to posses the knowledge and skills for team building or cohering people into an effective group.
.
Quadrant Three focuses on: -
- Learning what shapes groups into teams and how to facilitate high performance
- Realising the core distinctions that differentiate leadership from management
- Identifying the nature and spirit of your team - its strengths and weaknesses
- Acquiring subtle skills of renewal and re-generation as the team passes through its natural life cycle
- Understanding how to create an empowering followship where discretionary effort is an inspired outgrowth of a normal working day
Quadrant Three is about cohering individual’s energy, focus and behaviour towards an agreed purpose and set of values.
It is the Quadrant that energises and connects.
The Organisational Life Cycle & Culture
Quadrant Four: IT IS
An organisation is a living, breathing, ever-changing entity that moves through specific life cycles. The key to developing an effective whole company culture is knowing where to start.
Many companies fail to develop beyond their youthful exuberance because of Founder Control. Others go into premature retirement or death because of overburdening bureaucracy.
The secret is being able to create a healthy and dynamic organisation is to identify the current life cycle your company is in - understand the culture it evokes and map that data against the vision and mission and set your strategy for transformation.
In Quadrant Four you will explore how to:-
- Identify your company’s Current Life Cycle position
- Measure the Culture and its impact
- Conduct a Gap Analysis
- Create your Map for both immediate and strategic development
- Build Executive Leadership
- Develop a pool of talent to lead the way
- Develop the systems and process that will support, maintain and re-generate cultural renewal
Quadrant Four is the quadrant that fully aligns the organisation.
