The art of leadership, where it rises above the level of management or command, is experienced when it focusses a team and enables sustainable outcomes. The ultimate is to lead in a way that inspires genuine trust and engagement from those involved.
More than just having an amazing vision or great systems; leadership is about the ability to create an environment that inspires the best in others, invites consistent and meaningful contributions, and facilitates collaboration.

Businesses with authentic cultures experience the competitive advantages of high trust:
Staff turnover is low, losses and inefficiencies are minimised, and the high costs of strict compliance systems are reduced because the culture invites team members to give of their best, out of passion, experience, and integrity.
Healthy culture is about establishing an environment that allows teams to flourish. It is about identifying what builds high trust in and within the business, and then having the courage to make that culture happen – to act courageously, to be real and to stand out from the crowd.

Authentic team building creates opportunities for people to understand themselves and each other better; to recognise their contribution to the team and how to achieve this in a positive way. Team members also know how to recognise the best in others, and how to make room for their contributions with collaboration. Effective team building intentionally and productively applies difference in a team.
Great teams know how to break down silos, how to resolve conflict and how to give of their best. Great teams build emotional intelligence and resilience to quickly build trust, and then harness this trust to achieve great gains and competitive advantage.

Conflict in a team is born out of the fact that we each bring our own uniqueness to the team. This difference is the thing that gives rise to creativity, innovation and increased efficiency.
But how we bring our differences to the team and contribute out of our best is crucial. Conflict can be expensive in terms of lost time, wasted resources and a loss of experience, contributions, trust and reputation. Ongoing conflict seriously handicaps the productive capacity of a team - and not just in the present.
Effective resolutions however, open up new possibilities in collaboration, innovation and competitive advantage. Learning how to release this potential will pay dividends many times over.

Ramon facilitated a couple of Strengths Finder sessions.
His relaxed, knowledgeable, inclusive and encouraging facilitation approach assisted our team to better understand our individual and collective strengths.
I am able to draw upon the strengths, skills and motivations of others. The overall organisational contribution has improved with a better understanding of differences amongst the team.

"CliftonStrengths has helped to explain myself to me and to my team. It’s helped us to see the things that we do from a positive place rather than a negative. It’s incredibly freeing once you know each other’s ‘normal’."
Kendra (Learning Leader)
Ramon helped to facilitate an informed conversation between myself and my fiancé about our respective strengths. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Throughout the conversation, Ramon perceptively anticipated the ways in which our strengths might work well together or clash. It was great fun to look across the table at my fiancé and get the "that is so us" moment again and again; we felt seen and validated.

Building the leader’s capacity to think differently is not a quick fix, but it is a long term solution that can set your business apart from the competitors.
