Rapid
growth, mergers and acquisitions, shortened development cycles, increased
competition and expanding global markets are just a few of the reasons for
the pressure being felt in business today. Products are becoming increasingly
complex and technological advances are forcing organizations to make changes
and to shift priorities with very little advanced warning. The pressure
of daily crises makes it difficult to properly support individuals and teams.
Coaching and Developing Leaders for Competitive Organizations
The ability to lead in high performance environments is critical. Winning Mind leadership profiling defines what it takes to be successful in these high-pressure settings. The systematic assessment of leadership qualities determines crucial developmental targets. By working closely with organizations we fine-tune performance needs and provide the coaching, support, and motivation required to take leadership to the next level.
Building High Performance - Project Focused Teams
Team members who know themselves and understand one another have a much better chance of achieving success. It may not be difficult to bring together the right mix of technical talent, but successful teams need the right people in the right places. Winning Mind provides in-depth, performance-relevant information, essential to effective teambuilding and conflict resolution.
Reality-Based Training
The Winning Mind model for performance under pressure is ideally suited to experiential learning settings. One excellent example of this is the "Redline" Program. Designed jointly by Winning Mind and Williams Gerard Productions, the program invites senior executives to convene at a world class Skip Barber Racing School for first-hand experience with competitive driving techniques in Formula racecars. Throughout the program, driving becomes a metaphor for moving one's self and one's company forward. Current habits often must be "unlearned" and replaced by strategies to increase speed without sacrificing quality results. Winning Mind professionals participate in the program by guiding discussions and implementing TAIS inventories prior to the driving exercises. The data serves as a basis for predicting how the executives will perform on the track and, hence, how they might typically respond to the pressures of fast-paced, competitive business environments. The powerful training metaphors have "driven" senior managers to reach their full potential and re-evaluate their responsibilities for creating rewarding, high performance corporate cultures.
Identifying, Selecting and Retaining Effective Performers
Mission Profiling™ is the breakthrough process by which optimal, job-specific, performance profiles are generated and then used as benchmarks for comparison. To develop mission profiles, Winning Mind draws upon a series of critical data points including TAIS results, operational job descriptions, interview information, and performance evaluations. Armed with this information, organizations can make better hiring decisions and take the necessary steps to retain and advance high-performers.
