Collaborative Leadership Training: Building a High Performance Culture for Success
Learn systems thinking management
Ready to jump decades in your management effectiveness?
Operations Managers are the most connected employee in most organizations, having the most diverse direct reports and the most contact with multiple people and levels within the organization, and primary execution responsibility for the revenue stream. You better equip your ops manager, and you grease the wheels of the entire organization.
Also, first-time managers in any role, can unnecessarily struggle with expanded collaborative leadership and problem solving, and an increased role of running more meetings with cross-functional representation. A June 2023 Harris Research Poll with Oji Life Lab found the impact of first time managers to be problematic to morale and team performance. The good news is there are fundamentals that can be easily learned by first time managers to dramatically increase their effectiveness.
This practical, mind-blowing, accelerator management training is like no other on the market. In an executive-coaching style, we meet remote or in person once a week to discover application of focused prepared course training material and supplemental tailored content to support individual development. We also go over progress and feedback on the previous session's implementation.
Discover the transformative potential of our Collaborative Leadership Training program. This unique course equips managers with the essential tools and knowledge needed to excel in building a high performance culture. By focusing on systems thinking and actionable strategies, we ensure that participants can effectively drive employee engagement and organizational success. Join us to experience unparalleled growth and achieve excellence in leadership.

Managing on Purpose
You will examine your own mental models on managing and why "purpose" is an often-bypassed critical step in managing.
Through systems thinking we will develop a map of your VMCL (Cabrera Research Lab) walking through your current state and creating a vision for you and your team. This will lead to identifying the repeated actions and critical moments you must orchestrate. Finally, you will identify the capacities to support these activities and imbed learning into the whole thing to reach vision. The systems map becomes a critical tool to communicate your vision and evolve learning.
Meeting Effectiveness
Excite and engage your staff and they will transform your business.
This session delivers universal and modular strategies for step-ahead outcomes in every internal and external meeting.
Training in systems thinking and mapping increases the speed of communication and change.
Through this training you will leverage the fact meetings contain decision makers, impacted parties, and diversity.
You will learn to maximize meeting productivity to dramatically impact your management effectiveness and increase employee engagement and happiness.
Systems Thinking
We examine the benefits of DSRP, developed by Derek Cabrera (PhD, Cornell) an internationally known systems scientist who serves on the faculty of Cornell University as Director for the Graduate Certification Program for Systems Thinking, Modeling and Leadership (STML). Distinctions, Systems, Relationships and Perspectives are four simple rules that easily combine to make all kinds of ideas that will parabolically increase your team thinking capacity. You will be further amazed at the power of mental models and how DSRP is the micro method to get to the macro picture and impact individual and collective behaviors.
Impact
We examine Collective Adaptive Systems (CAS) and discover why they behave the way they do and how to positively impact their emerging properties.
We will bring together your VMCL, meeting effectiveness, DSRP and further develop your system mapping and problem framing. This will surge your abilities to reach a place of shared mental models and intentions. You will learn how to impact your ever-expanding circle of influence and propel initiatives and change culture.
Impact is achieved through the PLS Management Framework; where it all comes together. More information is here.
The PLS Collaborative Leadership Training was designed by managers, for managers.
With experience and success in dynamic operational contexts and coaching, we know the impact of team alignment and employee engagement, and set out to identify and address the gaps in learning with traditional leadership training.
What are the benefits of PLS Collaborative Leadership training when compared to traditional leadership training?
Most leadership training has no call-to-action (CTA) beyond writing down takeaways, or prompts of "What three things will you change as a result of this training?". This could lead to minimal implementation of costly training.
Most leadership training content is instructional and conceptual knowledge with simple tools and templates to help with implementation. This approach has little impact on the manager's capability, character, and caring. Research indicates these three factors create trust, which is an essential factor of leadership.
Because most leadership training administration occurs within a day or two, there is no built-in accountability in application of the training by the manager.
Upon completion of the course with most leadership training, there is no avenue for assistance in unique contexts, or ability for the manager to follow-up for clarification on content.
PLS training is administered in digestible chunks with agreed upon application of the material presented. Each week we set aside time for retrospection and feedback on the previous week's implementation and experience. Progress is gaged within the course to maximize benefit to the manager and the organization.
The PLS Collaborative Leadership Training includes saturated application of practical, cutting-edge methodologies using the latest worker and management psychology and systems thinking. This yields signficantly expanded capability and functional empathy.
With PLS Management Consulting, expectation is set on a weekly basis to help the manager realize immediate impact and build confidence, quickly.
Each training course administered by PLS Management Consulting, includes expert assistance during the course. Upon completion of the training, four weeks of on-demand assistance is included!
