The David Principle Ltd

Teams from Woe to Go is designed to assist organizations of any size set up High Performing Teams. The David Principle Ltd. is the corporate/strategic arm of my company.

My aim when working with teams is initially to free management time by at least 30% so they can work ON the business not IN it. However, the two greatest challenges facing any organization today are:

FINDING good employees and KEEPING them!

So, once your time is freed up (and it doesn’t take long to do that), managers/owners now need to put some of that freed up time back into their employees by:

1. Conducting regular 1:1 performance/career development discussions with their employees (otherwise they will become bored and leave!)
2. Upskilling team members so there is a clear Succession Plan for key players (if they leave and you have no-one to replace you could be In deep yoghurt)
3. Dealing with less than desireable performance quickly and effectively (if you don’t it will spread!)
4. Becoming a coach; a mentor and a leader rather than the traditional manager.

The challenge for most managers is that they haven’t been trained in how to do steps 1-4 above.

I speak regularly at Conferences throughout New Zealand on the above topics; run regular public workshops for the Employer’s and Manufacturer’s Association, but am also happy to run such workshops in-house. References can be provided.
