Adrian Bourne - High Performance Team Development

Teams perform because the individuals trust each other - it is a privilege to work with teams to develop this trust.

Approach

I work with teams at board, executive and senior management levels. My clients are across a wide spectrum of business sectors, including financial services, telecoms, construction, engineering, banking and food and drink. I use an eclectic range of tools relevant to the brief, such as GROW, DREC, psychometrics and many proprietary models.

My approach is to have one to ones with each team member before the group session to understand the key issues individually and collectively. My role with the group is to ensure all members contribution is offered, listened to and valued; to facilitate discussion and deal with conflicting views; to clarify, summarise and draw out specific actions.

Philosophy

I work on the belief that best leadership brings best business results. My passion is to help the people and the numbers meet their goals together. Teams perform because the individuals trust each other - it is a privilege to work with teams to develop this trust.

Experience

I know what it's like as a practitioner having had a long career in General Management and as a Board Director.I had over 30 years of commercial experience, working with both UK and multinational companies. I ran many businesses and was involved in project teams and executive boards for change management programs, acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures and business turnarounds.This experience is invaluable in my coaching on a group basis.

I am a graduate of Manchester University and the PED Programme of IMD, Lausanne and a member of the Institute of Directors.
