None of us is as smart as all of us.–Ken Blanchard
Individual commitment to a group effort – that’s what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.– Vince Lombardi
Core4 has been used in hundreds of organizations, both profit and not-for-profit. Its principles are:
Accountability: clarity and agreement
People need to know what their job is and how their performance is measured. They must understand their individual work-related goals and have a voice in helping set these goals.
Engagement: authentic relationships
Leaders listen to, coach, and mentor their people. Team members report on results, propose solutions, and plan for the future.
Collaboration: high functioning teams
Strong relationships build a sense of belonging within an organization. A team that works together can harness the power and creativity of collaboration.
Empowerment: a voice in decision-making
Energetic participation delivers more effective decisions and stronger buy-in.
After interviewing top leaders and carefully noting the organization’s needs, we craft a custom engagement that is built on Core4 principles featured in highly-interactive sessions over a period of four to twelve months. Core4 uses your organization’s real work and real issues and opportunities in session “exercises.” Between sessions, we observe team and one-to-one meetings to provide coaching for skills development as well as provide individual coaching with each leadership team member throughout the engagement.
One Central Pennsylvania CEO said, “I believe with Core4 fully implemented throughout our company for the last several years, it has positively impacted our sales and relationships with our stakeholders. We are outperforming our peers by a long shot at the top and bottom line.”
