Leadership Teams in SME’s are often small in numbers, two to three directors, perhaps one or two senior managers.
When challenges or opportunities arise that need focus and time, directors and business leaders are often left spread too thin, to continue building traction and scale. What to tackle first?
Ignore issues at your peril! Don’t let the business direction stall! Cloud-Busting will help you tackle challenges face-on. We work with Leadership Teams, directors and business owners.
Understand the issue, pull together a range of solutions and outcomes, and then create the roadmap to follow swiftly and smoothly.
No time-wasting. Keep the business on track, on pace.
A Recent Example Of Our Work
Problem
Senior leadership is regularly being pulled into the daily business activities to make decisions, trouble-shoot, calm things down, boost morale.
Underlying issue
The business had grown quickly over the pandemic as it pivoted from a face-to-face training business to a complete online digital training platform. Middle Management Tier was fragmented, not performing, unclear on their management roles, what level of authority they have, more comfortable being one of the team.
Cloud-Busting In Your Workplace
We shadowed the MD for one day to observe, talk to managers, talk to the teams.
A Cloud-Busting Observation Report and Suggested Solutions was presented.
Cloud-Busting ran an initial one-day Managers ToolBox Training Session. Identified A-star management potential.
Senior leadership implemented recommended management structure changes.
Cloud-Busting carried out a 3-month Management Training Programme.
Results
MD and the senior leadership team are NOT involved in daily and weekly meetings. MD has 4 direct reports and holds weekly meetings and monthly 1-2-1s.
A clear accountability structure is in place across the business.
Managers understand and own their targets, deadlines.
The business has invested in an HR Business Partner to put the rules, behaviours, employment framework for each team in place to support the management function, provide clear direction across the business.
The business continues to scale.
