“The regular feedback mechanisms of Scores on the Board™ provides our managers with the opportunity to concentrate on what is important – managing and leading staff – this has led to an improvement in those skills in our managers.”

Organisations that use Scores on the Board™ to build the leadership management skills of their managers and team leaders have achieved increases in those manager’s performance of up to 50% within 12 months of implementation.
One of the greatest career transitions that many people must make is from being a front-line team member to becoming a leader or manager of a team or a project. Organisations invest considerable resources in delivering in-house leadership management training or sending their employees off to external leadership management training courses. While the leadership management learning experience at these events and training programs is often rated highly by participants, the impact on improved skills and leadership management performance is often hard to detect. Participants often return to work with a large folder, full of leadership management training buzz-words and tools. Many struggle to take any of these and convert them into a team leadership management process that they can use to better lead and manage their teams.
Scores on the Board™ provides a turn-key system for these managers to learn and implement a number of proven practices and processes to develop their leadership management skills and lift team performance. Team managers can quickly adopt and implement the system and this will have a dramatic impact on increasing past leadership management training initiatives in a short period of time.
Following the 3 hour Scores on the Board™ Workshop team leaders can immediately start to implement the system. As the team members actively participate in building their team’s vision, setting specific team goals and creating and implementing their actions they become immediately more involved and feel more valued by each other. They also build their individual skills in the areas of communication, creative problem solving, goal setting, action planning and their specific job competencies. Compared to traditional leadership management training, the leader learns how to prioritise, set goals, agree action plans and supervise and encourage work completion by team members. In addition they learn how to create and communicate a compelling team vision that will inspire employees to learn from each other and perform at their best. These skills are built upon and improved over each Scores on the Board™ cycle with the leader being able to access their Scores on the Board™ Coach for support in using the system.
Implementing Scores on the Board™ will deliver a bigger improvement in leadership management skills than going it alone or investing the time and money of developing a specific leadership management training program or sending employees out to external leadership management training programs.
