Detailed writeup on the workshop
Would you like your employees to think MORE positively, thereby performing better and hence increasing your profits?
The UAE market specifically and the Gulf/ Asian markets generally are plagued by corporate thinking characterized by such fanciful thoughts:
“I know that I know everything”
“No one can teach me anything”
“People are plotting against me”
“XYZ nationality people are like this”
“XYZ religion people are like this”
“Don’t trust anyone”
“Cut costs cut costs cut costs” (leaving question marks on long term profitability)
“There is only one solution to this problem”
“Younger people don’t have the experience to talk in front of me”
“Don’t dare disagree with the boss if you want to keep your job”
“Don’t give enough exposure to your subordinates or they’ll take your job” so on and so forth…
The ultimate results of such thoughts for the corporate world are organization cultures that STOP people from performing at their peak, often hurting each other’s performance ultimately impacting the bottom line of the organization i.e. sales and profits, some obvious symptoms of the problem are:
Lack of trust between employees
Focus on short term measures
Focus on face saving / cosmetic measures to ‘show’ performance
Ignoring long term customer and corporate objectives to meet short term ‘image’ and ‘performance’ objectives
Mental and physical health problem generation within employees due to fear, lack of trust and hence lack of true job satisfaction
Rewards and punishment not aligned with market measures but with internal political measures
Short or long run market share eroding to competitors
‘Lip service’ to credos, values and ethics resulting in demoralization and cynical attitude of employees, hurting customers and each other alike
In reality this issue has a much broader social perspective, the origins of wars and hate have but such skewed thinking as their root cause whether relating to false perceptions of power, wealth or pride
It is my life aim to help organizations reach to their peak performance by working as ONE team, and putting personal differences aside to achieve broader corporate objectives resulting in growth and enhanced profitability.
Hence I created a workshop called Changing Mindsets for a more positive attitude, based on the teachings of Human and Social Psychology, the Quran, the inspirations from several like minded gentlemen across the globe like John O’Keeffe Former Group Vice-President of Procter & Gamble, and President of Health & Beauty Care Products – Europe who wrote a minute but heavy on the content book called “Your one week way to mind fitness”. I often brainstormed with the writer of a dozen titles on NLP, UK based Joseph O’Connor besides the regular circle of influence I enjoyed due my mid and senior level professional positions within the government, public and private sector, even some non profit firms.
The origin of this one to three days need based workshop is my experiences and sharing with colleagues and counterparts across all mix of firms, multinationals, private, public or non profit-EACH have their own manifestation of this problem.
The first version of this workshop was created in 1996 and implemented with resounding success in what was once known as Boots, then Knoll (part of BASF) pharmaceuticals, currently Abbott. Therein I managed to address these issues with precise interventions on the attitude part through this workshop at the top and mid management levels. The result, increased profitability, increased sales, a work environment people looked FORWARD to working in and above all an atmosphere of trust and openness.
After Knoll, there were a series of this workshop-all with par excellence feedback, more than a dozen in a span of 8 years – in all sorts of companies from the multinationals like Merck Marker, the Government of Pakistan’s premier wing Export Promotion Bureau, Pakistan Software Export Board, Interbank (a venture of American Express), Hub Leather (No 1 exporter of leather garments from Pakistan) and many other reputed clients.
In fact I put this workshop to practice on several occasions, for example the thinking and learning were applied in changing laws on mobile phone imports in Pakistan teaming up with government officials, operators and handset sellers for a common purpose in the process making history in the regulatory environment of Pakistan.
The format of this workshop is HIGHLY interactive; it helps people break their mental shackles and come out in the open. I can never forget a participant of Pakistan Software Export Board, a UK educated Software Engineer who mocked this workshop in the first half and in the end commented “You made me realize today what a snob I have been all my life!” another was a 45+ senior manager at Knoll who commented to me at the end of the workshop “Imran, you have changed me” – I thought it was a joke! But ensuing times proved otherwise, later on when the company was taken over by Abbott only a handful of the ‘oldies’ from Knoll were retained, needless to mention this person jumped 2 notches ahead on a promotion! His entire approach had changed overtly and covertly! A young medical rep who once attended this program joined Harvard for a PhD after 5 years and called me from the US, literally crying that “you made me realize my potential and stopped me from stopping myself scaling new heights”
My proposal for you is very simple: I offer a reduced 2-3 hour version of this course to you FREE OF COST.
