Adizes Leading the Leaders Workshop
How to Create High Performance Management Teams
Do you know that the Ideal Leader does not exist?
It’s true.
A single leader, no matter how functional, will eventually become dysfunctional. Over time, as the organization grows, that single executive will falter. The qualities that made him or her successful in the past can be the reason for failing in the future. In reality, one person, even someone extraordinary, can perform only one or, at most, two of the roles required to manage/lead an organization.
Building a company requires a complementary team. It needs collaborative leadership, a team of leaders who differ in their styles yet complement one another.
But here is the problem: A complementary team, since it is, by definition, composed of different styles, generates conflict. So, although conflict is good, although it is necessary and indispensable, it can be destructive and dysfunctional.
What is needed to avoid this potential dysfunctional and destructive conflict is collaborative leadership based on Mutual Trust and Respect.
Attend this workshop and learn how to create a complementary team and understand the foundation for establishing a culture in which your team will thrive.

Syndag™
A Syndag, which is a Synergetic Diagnostic workshop, is a 3 day program that is a powerful management tool for kicking off a sustained effort to dramatically improve growth, profitability and other areas of company performance. In a world of virtual teams, cryptic email, text messaging, and death by PowerPoint, Syndag works because it requires key people to come together and work on the business face-to-face. The highly collaborative nature of a Syndag produces many valuable outcomes. Four are particularly important:
- 100% agreement on the issues the company needs to tackle to drive performance and 100% agreement on the game plan for doing so.
- The need for change is legitimized and accountability for action moves from the shoulders of just 1 or 2 individuals onto the shoulders of all participants.
- An energized atmosphere of understanding, mutual cooperation, teamwork, and urgency emerges.
- Participants develop an enhanced awareness of their interdependency and learn how to work better together to harness their differences tackle complex issues constructively.
Syndags® are only provided as private in-company workshops for up to 24 participants who represent all key functional areas and management levels of the business.
