WHO’S IT FOR?
This action-oriented seminar on managing high performers is for executives, senior managers, HR specialists and performance mentors who manage and lead high performers. Using five lessons from Miles Davis and his experience in leading the best to be their best, the seminar shows how these lessons can easily be transferred to the business world. You’ll learn more about these lessons, why they work and then we’ll challenge you to concretely apply them when managing high performers in your organization.
By the end of this practical seminar you will have:
- considered the importance of your own vision in recruiting talented high performers.
- recognized the values of autonomy and responsibility for high performers.
- recognized the advantages of a “Go live and debrief” development strategy.
- seen the value of openness and rapport in the performance process.
- learnt to be conscious of the time to move on and part ways.
WHAT’S COVERED IN THE TRAINING?
- What is your vision suited and who is best to help you realize it?
- Know what you want and bring together the people who can “play it”.
- “Leave the drummer alone” -if you’ve selected the best, give them room to be the best.
- No rehearsals and first takes – develop others by giving them real responsibilities in situations with real consequences.
- Music comes from life, so talk about life -building rapport and seeing the same vision through connection.
- Let them grow, let them go – planning for the time to move on and knowing when it’s time to do so.
“Miles Davis is rightfully acclaimed as an icon of jazz but he didn’t make music alone. Throughout his career as a band leader, Miles brought together some of the most talented musicians in jazz to work with him in his musical exploration. John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans and many others, known as among the giants of jazz, graduated from ‘Miles University’. This seminar draws on what Miles learned and transfers it to your workplace so you can manage and lead your high performers with confidence and authenticity.”
