We help organisations develop effective staff. Staff work refers to a process of helping bosses to study issues, make recommendations, implement decisions and deliver results, so that the organisation thrives.Staff work is the neglected sibling of leadership and teamwork. Leadership focuses downwards on managing staff. Teamwork focuses sidewards on working with peers. Staff work focuses upwards on supporting bosses. Personal effectiveness requires competence on all three fronts. Leadership approaches assume that the boss is invariably the cause and the staff is the effect. How the staff performs at work is determined predominantly by their boss. But in truth, staff have their own minds. Staff work aims to directly improve staff performance, unlock their potential and harness their talents. When staff delivers good staff work, the organisation stands to gain tremendously in productivity and performance.
