In fact the UK government is quite focused on supporting leadership training for small to medium companies.</p > <p class="style1">In some areas, conflict resolution is a real issue and getting the right balance in management style is difficult. </p > <p> <span class="style1">However we all know of examples of people who are totally results focused, who like using punishment because “it’s quick, it’s easy and it makes me feel good” who have astronomical levels of staff turnover on the one hand, and managers who have the most cohesive, socially fulfilled teams that never get anything done. Surely there has to be a better way? A theory Z? </span></p> <p class="style1">In today's world, we need to achieve a synthesis based on a deeper understanding of the dynamic forces at work - and the individual motivations that can make or break new projects and other change management initiatives.</p > <h2 class="style1">Staff motivation </h2 > <p class="style1">This is where the work of Dudley Lynch is so powerful. It helps us realise that we don’t all think the same way and that different people have different values. How they relate to the company culture they find themselves in makes a difference and the amount of attention they get makes a difference. In order to deliver the performance that is needed in todays world - where an alignment of staff motivation with company purpose and results is needed, the mature individual is at a premium.</p > <p class="style1">The characteristics of a mature individual is one who is</p > <ul> <li class="style1">active</li> <li class="style1">independent</li> <li class="style1">multi-skilled</li> <li class="style1">has strong, stable interests</li> <li class="style1">thinks in the long terms</li> <li class="style1">tends to behave as a collaborating equal rather than a subordinate</li> <li class="style1">shows self-awareness and self control</li> </ul> <p class="style1">Dudley's work with the Graves Spiral leads to the conclusion that individuals mature as their life experiences teach them to balance individual expression with the needs of the group. They handle ambiguity well and behave spontaneously within a viable process structure. </p> <h2 class="style1">Group Dynamics</h2> <p class="style1">This means that we can map the characteristics of individuals and groups and gain an understanding of the group dynamics. The instruments for carrying this analysis out grow out of The BrainMap tool® .This essentially assesses the thinking preferences of the individual and allows us to explore the balance between left brain (results) and right brain (pattern) orientation on the one hand and thinking vs instinctive behaviour on the other.</p> <p class="style1">This allows us to identify how the individual's motivations partition between belonging, pursuing, <img src="how%20businesses%20behave.gif" width="537" height="390">controlling and exploring. This gives us insight into how these thinking styles tend to deal with conflict and how they see each other - and into the the characteristic value systems that they adopt. We can even begin to map how these relate to the cultures of different types of organisation. </p> <p class="style1">We have the tools to help you help team leaders understand and guide the dynamics of the workplace.</p> <p class="style1">They are powerful but easy to understand. Best of all they're inexpensive. We can summarise them as follows</p> <p class="style1">The BrainMap® deals with thinking styles</p> <p class="style1">The MCircle® tool deals with preferred conflict strategies</p> <p class="style1">The MindMaker6® tool deals with values systems.</p> <p class="style1">These instruments are £20 each plus delivery. The Asset Report® delivers a 100 plus page book which provides a synthesis of all the different models and delivers a comprehensive insight to the individual manager into their behaviour. </p> <p class="style1">These tools are powerful. We have used them for away days and for developing a cabin crew training programme for a major airline. They are available from stock and do not require lengthy and expensive accreditation programmes. We can cover the core knowledge you need in a 1 day training course to use the BrainMap and MCircle tools confidently and a further day to make effective use of the insights of the MindMaker6</p> <h2 class="style1">Insights and Results</h2> <p class="style1">What this will do for you and your company will deliver the insights to team leaders and players alike of how they relate to each other - what language and behaviours work for different types of people. This knowledge is invaluable for those in a customer facing role because it allows them to truly start to be emotionally intelligent by recognising and relating to the underlying signatures of those they meet quickly and effectively.</p> <p class="style1">For more information, please contact Dr Alan Rae on 0845 094 0407 to discuss how we may help you to get your organisation ready to meet the challenges of this strange new business landscape we find ourselves in. </p> <p class="style1"> </p > <p class="style1"> </p > </div> <div class="feature"> <p class="style1"> </p> <DIV align=left><a href="http://www.google.com/coop/trust/add?user=001930558279623843778&sig=__d385k5WYsN_3QcgExJbZQLLv_vw="> <img src="http://www.google.com/coop/images/addmyexpertisebadge.gif" class="subscribe-button" border="0" alt="Add my expertise to your Google search results"/> </a> </DIV> </div> <h2> </h2> <div class="story"></div> </div>  <div id="navBar"> <div id="sectionLinks"> <h3>The BrainMap Story </h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/BrainTechnologies.htm ">About the BrainMap </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/GravesSpiral.htm ">The Graves Spiral </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/LynchandGraves.htm ">Dudley Lynch and Clare Graves </a></li> <h3>Why you'd use them </h3> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/personalgrowth.htm ">Personal Growth</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/Leadership&change.htm">Leadership & Change Management</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/Communications.htm">Getting your message across </a></li> <h3>Who would use them </h3> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/Coaches.htm ">Coaches</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/HRprofessionals.htm ">HR professionals </a></li> <h3>Brain Technologies Products </h3> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/MindMaker6.htm ">MindMaker6 </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/PathPrimer.htm ">Path Primer </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/AssetReport.htm">Asset Report </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/MCircle.htm">MCircle </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/Couples.htm">Couples Brain Map </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/braintechnologybooks.htm ">Books </a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="relatedLinks"> <h3>Our Other Sites </h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/HRProfessionals.htm" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://punchaboveyourweight.com/','Payweight','toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=800,height=600')">Punch above your Weight</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/HRProfessionals.htm" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.aiconsultants.co.uk','Ai','toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=800,height=600')">Ai Consultants</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/HRProfessionals.htm" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.1manbrand.co.uk/','1Mb','toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=800,height=600')">1Man Brand</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/UserRequest.aspx?req=dld&doc=SampleMarketingPlan.pdf&des=Free%20Marketing%20Planner&frm=http%3A//www.howtodobusiness.com/ ">Free Market Planner </a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="relatedLinks"> <h3>Offers</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://howtodobusiness.com/secure/cdorderform.aspx?prd=bk2">Brain Map </a></li> <li><a href="https://howtodobusiness.com/secure/cdorderform.aspx?prd=bk3 ">MIndMaker6</a></li> <li><a href="https://howtodobusiness.com/secure/cdorderform.aspx?prd=bk1 ">Asset Report </a></li> <li><a href="https://howtodobusiness.com/secure/cdorderform.aspx?prd=SV4">Asset Report Consultancy</a></li> <li><a href="https://howtodobusiness.com/secure/cdorderform.aspx?prd=ev5">Business Refocus Workshop</a></li> <li><a href="https://howtodobusiness.com/secure/cdorderform.aspx?prd=SV5">Video Microconsultancy </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="relatedLinks"> <h3>Research Projects</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=wZSf4zANUkIklJZVwOeNCw_3d_3d">Business Issues </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=mHRy1A1k4_2bayJ77WByQoqA_3d_3d ">Networking </a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="Newsletter"> <h3>News Letter</h3> <p> <span class="relatedLinks"><a href="http://eepurl.com/bt8f" target="_blank">Subscribe to our News Letter!</a> </span></p> </div> </div>  <div id="siteInfo"> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/abouthowtodobusiness.htm ">About Us</a> | <a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/howtodobusiness-sitemap.htm">Site Map</a> | <a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/policies.htm ">Privacy Policy</a> | <a href="http://www.howtodobusiness.com/contactdetails.htm ">Contact Us</a> | ©2008 Free Spirits Ltd </div> </div> <br> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
