It's Up to Us!

What to do when all of your Supervisors have been through CORE some 8 years ago? What do you do when you want to revisit some of the tools and skills that they learned, but maybe aren't applying as they should.

You refocus your group of Supervisors - It's Up to Us! One day away from the workplace with some interesting discussions. What are the challenges, what are the successes? How do you overcome the challenges and use the successes? What are the fundamentals of Leadership?

AMC Cookware used this opportunity to re-energise their team of Supervisors on the 21st of April 2010 at De Malle Meul in Philadelphia. (What a beautiful venue! We loved the cows hanging around outside. Makes for a nice change compared to City living!)

We had an interesting day with some constructive inputs and left with some definite action plans.

Well done guys - now It's Up to You!

BMS A 2010 - Phase I Memories

Yes We Can!

Thanks to Michellé, that seems to have become the motto of BMS A 2010! We agree - what a great mindset. This is True, and according to our test, certainly not Useless (TBU).

Andrew said it all: "These have been the most intellectually challenging learners that I have experienced on BMS. I've really enjoyed my time with them."

We absolutely concur, and look forward to challenging and stretching you even more on Phase II.

So, what are you going to do about it?

In-depth discussion - but what a view!

Of course, part of the emotion that is integral to BMS is:

BMS A 2010 - Get Ready!

So our first BMS Programme for 2010 kicks off tomorrow morning at 08h00 at the Villa Via Hotel in Gordon's Bay. We are ready and excited to once again challenge the delegates to new and different views about "old" concepts.

As facilitators, we have also been challenged in the last couple of months about our view on leadership and change. We've listened to some new, fresh views and inputs but at the same time, have also revisited some literature that undoubtedly falls in the category of Management Classics. However the challenge remains - How do you incorporate these ideas in a practical way in your workplace. With this in mind, we are looking forward to sharing some new concepts in fresh ways, and also some fundamental leadership truths that have stood the test of time.

Topics you'll be challenged with in Phase I

• Best people practice
• Present ideas & influence people
• Lead and execute strategy
• Trouble shoot strategy
• Identify and tackle barriers to change
• Build high performing teams
• Improve performance through performance discussions
• Clarify & support roles
• Hold teams accountable for agreed performance goals
• Coach & mentor
• Manage time & personal productivity
• Handle discipline, dismissals and chair hearings

We'll see you at the Villa Via!

CORE A 2010 - What a fantastic programme

What a fantastic first CORE for 2010!

Who would have thought that 3months down the line we would have grown as much as we have. We have seen friendhips blossom, we have seen changes in ourselves, in our workplace, with our teams and even in our homes ... and this is just the start...

We can't wait to see what is still to come...
