ARE YOUR MIDDLE MANAGERS COSTING YOU RESULTS, CULTURE AND GROWTH?

YOUR ORGANISATION OPERATES IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET AND MUST KEEP EVOLVING TO WIN.

To be successful you need to SPEND MORE TIME ON GROWTH AND STRATEGY BUT YOU KEEP BEING DRAWN INTO CUSTOMER, OPERATIONAL AND PEOPLE ISSUES.

But too many of your middle managers are overwhelmed, lack focus on the key priorities, play politics and don’t take accountability for their people or results. 

This is costing you and other executives critical time and energy that needs to be focused on the most important initiatives in your business. 

Through the Chief Maker Academy, in less than 12 months, you’ll have a highly skilled team of managers capable of leading and executing change across your business.

 

"The time and clarity created through these processes helped me to guide and coach the team and to work more effectively at the right level, improving effectiveness and accountability in the leadership team."

Graham Crew
COO, Golden Star Resources

"A role like mine is, many times, exhausting, conflicting, confusing and huge. Greg helps me cut through the maze, to see more clearly in the middle of so many issues, what is important and where my focus must lay. He is an integral part of helping Bravehearts make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child. I cannot speak too highly of his capacity to cut through the forest of issues and find the tree of hope."

Hetty Johnston, OAM
CEO and Executive Chair, Bravehearts

YOUR LEADERS WILL FOLLOW STEP-BY-STEP, STRUCTURED PROGRAMS THAT BUILD THEIR SKILLS QUICKLY WITH REGULAR PEER & COACH SUPPORT

All our programs are based on Chief Maker's proven high performance model's in individual and team excellence the GREAT Method. 

The 5-Step GREAT Method is a set of critical habits and personal strategies to accelerate impact, influence and confidence of leaders.

It’s what separates the Chiefs from the career middle managers.

The GREAT Method is broken into five steps:

1. GAME PLAN
Game Plan is about stepping back from your career and taking a realistic look at the path you’re on – and the path you want to be on.

With a game plan in place, you’ll be driving forward with purpose and a clear mind to distance yourself from your competitors and reveal your true value.

2. ROUTINES
Routines is about creating and embedding success-driving habits – everyday patterns that create and sustain focus, drive constant improvement, and increase composure.

Routine is also the key to striking a healthy balance between work and everything else – spending time with family, staying fit, going on holidays, and more.

3. ENTOURAGE
Entourage is about building a high-quality network of supporters in every part of your life – from work to home, and across other industries and professions. Your network will help you solve problems faster, attract new opportunities and rise to the top.

It’s also about reciprocity. The more you give, the more others will give back.

4. ASSETS
Your assets include your skills, connections and wide ranging life and career experiences. It’s what you bring to the table.

This step teaches you the vital skills of accelerated learning and what to focus on so you can cut through office politics and bureaucracy and master your craft. From self-awareness to emotional intelligence, decision making and communication skills.

5. TRACK RECORD
A bulletproof track record of success demonstrates your ability to make an impact. It’s non-negotiable for C-level roles.

Track record starts with a High Performance Team. This is about building a diverse team and uniting them behind a common vision and strategy so that everyone can perform at their peak.
