Building Trust

Developing Mutual Trust in Your Organisation... For Sustained High Performance

Business-networking Today's increasingly global market-place puts a premium on true collaboration, teaming, relationships and partnering, and all these interdependencies require trust. Research confirms that high-trust organisations outperform low-trust organisations.

"Trust is a key leadership competency in the new economy".

Trust is needed to acquire and keep customers create and maintain community, and inspire and retain team members (employees or otherwise).

On paper you can have clarity around your objectives, but in a low-trust environment, your strategy won't be executed. In this highly pragmatic and motivating workshop participants are engaged in activities and examples based on their current work - not on theoretical examples or academic models.

Relationships for Leadership and Management Success

The most successful leaders and managers excel at building strong, genuine relationships with employees, clients and business partners. Many companies pay a huge price for organisational ills such as miscommunication, redundant hierarchy, excessive time wasted defending positions and decisions, painful micromanagement and bureaucracy, dysfunctional and toxic culture (open warfare, sabotage, grievances, hidden agendas, suspicion etc), lack of teamwork, diversity related conflict and so forth.

But as one gets to the roots of most of these challenges one finds that in most instances it merely boils down to a lack of knowledge and skills to solid business relationships. So what is your most important asset? The ability to build business relationships. Don't compromise it. You won't find it on your balance sheet, or in the warehouse, or even in the boardroom. But like no other asset, it can make or break your career and business success. Book Karl to speak at your next conference

Relationships for Stakeholder Management

Trust is a fundamental aspect of the moral treatment of stakeholders in organization/stakeholder relationships. The importance of stakeholder management is to support an organisation in achieving its strategic objectives by interpreting and influencing both the external and internal environments by creating positive relationships with stakeholders through the appropriate management of their expectations and agreed objectives.

Stakeholder management is crucial to manage the expectation of anyone that has an interest in a project or will be affected by its deliverables or outputs. But what do we mean by a 'stakeholder'? And how do we know who our stakeholders are? And what is their relative importance to our organisation? This interactive and motivating workshop will give participants an practical insight into relationship building and stakeholder management. Book Karl to speak at your next conference

In this pragmatic session you will be equipped to take responsibility for managing your boss. If you want to influence the outcome of your relationship with your boss, you have to take responsibility.

Leading from the core

In this session, Karl helps a group to understand how achieving sustainable business results in the 21st century is synonymous with the key elements of Authentic Leadership.

This session incorporates the core concepts of collaboration in the new economy, choice and personal leadership. Achieve long-term, positive transformation by learning how to stay true to your authentic self, define personal values and principles, understand your motivations, build a support team and remain
