Learn to lead a Team to greatness

Our two-day leadership training course is suitable for anyone in a leadership role. The training course will teach you how to systematically turn a team’s performance around with a repeatable and scalable solution.

The secret ingredient in great teams

England’s football team, ranked 13th, finished 4th in the World Cup, won a penalty shoot-out for the first time ever and helped the nation fall back in love with football. How did they achieve this transformation in performance and resilience? By building a team identity.

Southgate created and embedded, a team identity that enabled England to rediscover “who they are”. On this course you will learn how to become an identity leader capable of transforming a team, using a proven and practical process.

The approach gives a clear and practical framework for developing teams.

TRIBE is a brilliant tool for teams and leaders. If we’d had it in the All Blacks we would have saved a lot of time and got to our destination quicker.

The role of team identity

We have been collaborating with Sussex University for five years to try and understand what happens in high performing teams that is missing in ordinary teams and the research homed in on the pivotal role of team identity.

The research revealed that teams with strong identities outperform those with weak identities, by more than 50%. Not a marginal gain, but a massive transformation in performance caused by having a stronger team identity. We went on to investigate what leaders needed to do to create and embed this kind of transformational identity and found that it all stemmed from just five core shared beliefs.

We took these insights and turned them into a step-by-step process called TRIBE, which has been used by teams in sport, the military and business.

The result is a proven process that makes the secret performance benefits available to you. This two-day course is designed specifically for leaders in sport who want to learn how to use TRIBE to make their teams great.
