But
what hasn't changed is the need for human beings to interact with
each other and to work together on behalf of a common objective.
And, what also hasn't changed is the reality that whenever a group
of individuals come together on behalf of a common objective, the
success of their enterprise will be directly a function of the depth
and quality of the relationships they have with each other. As stated
previously, a successful organization consists of a group of enthusiastic,
confident, positive people who work together on behalf of a future
they have all committed themselves to.
So,
while technological advancements will continue to change our world,
what will not change is our need to learn how to successfully interact
with each other.
The
Hunter Partnership Alliance has, since it's inception in 1985, been
committed to being a leader in coaching people in management on
how to create extraordinary relationships and teamwork, since it
is only extraordinary teams that build extraordinary companies.
THE
X FACTOR: ALIGNMENT
The
success of an organization is directly a function of the degree
to which the people in it are in alignment. Alignment is a principle
in life, just as much as gravity, which is the hidden and most significant
factor that determines the success of an organization.
If
you go into most organizations and look to see what the employees
are individually committed to, what you'll discover is that most
people have their own agenda, are doing their own thing, and going
in their own direction. The principle of alignment says that if
you want to know the direction in which the organization is going,
and how fast it's moving in that direction, then you need to add
up all of the individual commitments.
You
can readily see that with everyone having their own agenda, people
will be going in different directions and some people's commitments
will cancel others. In other words, people are working against each
other and the organization suffers. Picture a number of people in
a boat all rowing in a different direction. There's lots of activity
but very little progress.
Now
imagine what would happen if everyone became committed to the same
thing, taking their energy and using it on behalf of a common objective.
Now, instead of people working against each other, everyone will
be adding their talents and contributions to everybody else's. The
result can be truly phenomenal.
And
there is a difference between people being in "alignment"
and being in "agreement" and most people in organizations
make the mistake of working toward agreement. Unfortunately, it's
virtually impossible to get people to agree, since everyone has
their own opinion, to which they are entitled. It's also virtually
impossible, and therefore useless, to try to get people to change
their minds and agree. On the other hand, you can get people to
align on a common objective, even if they have their own opinion
and even if they don't agree with others. When you do get people
to align, the outcome can be extraordinary.
If
people are to be in alignment and work together to create a future,
We think it goes without saying that they had better know how to
be in relationship with each other. And, in our view, "partnership"
is the highest form of relationship.
Partnership
so often does NOT exist because people have never been taught the
fundamentals of creating relationship. That's the primary reason
why 83% of American workers say they hate their jobs and why so
many companies grapple with the issue of teamwork. Our company has
been creating extraordinary levels of partnership, teamwork and
alignment in client organizations for over 18 years now. Would you
like to join in their success?
THE
NATURE OF OUR WORK
Client
engagements vary widely, but could include any of the following:
• Initial Interviews with management
and/or key employees;
• One to three days of coaching in
a "retreat" setting;
• Private one-on-one coaching for
those in management;
• Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly coaching
sessions;
• Management retreats or planning
sessions;
• Negotiations with conflicting parties.
As your coach, we bring your issues and concerns out into the open
where they can be properly addressed. Much of what goes on within
a company is ignored, hoping it will improve "someday"
or "when we have the time or money to handle it". Typically,
these are the very things that result in ineffectiveness.
The
length and nature of a coaching engagement depends on the circumstances
in your company and the intended outcome. Some projects require
only 2 or 3 days of work, while others require attention over a
period of a year or more. You can expect us to be responsible, diligent
and professional in tailoring our approach to your specific requirements.
We
work directly with the concerns of your company -- those that are
current and the challenges of the future. Our coaching is designed
to get you beyond the problems, patterns and blind spots of the
past. It shifts your focus and actions to become consistent with
your vision for the future of your company. With coaching, you are
able to produce better results -- by drawing improved performance
from your whole team!
